Plot: A theater director (Hoffman) struggles with his work, and the women in his life, as he attempts to create a life-size replica of New York inside a warehouse as part of his new play.
I thought it was the greatest day of my life when I found out Charlie Kaufman was writing a new movie with such an out-of-this-world cast and, oh! surprise!, him as a director for the first time.
That was until I found out this was a "Tango" (Carlos Saura, 1998) rip off all the way.
A man (with a cane) building a huge replica of New York (or Buenos Aires) inside a warehouse for his new show with an ex-wife, a new girl and his life reflected in his work? That's the plot summary for 2 movies!! "Tango" and "Synecdoche"...
I trusted Kaufman, and now, this?!
Pity.

compare these clips: the cane... the music... the warehouse...
Once again, a great idea is slaughtered in a hasty, clumsy treatment of Charlie Kaufman! Delerious and boring!
Charlie Kaufman's one of my favorite writers working in film today. If his first foray into directing is even half as good as his screenwriting, then we're all in for something special.
Are you kidding? With this superb cast, and writing and directed by Charlie "freaking-awesome" Kaufman, where have to go to queue?
