Nominated for three screenplay Oscars, and winning in 2005 for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Charlie Kaufman’s first directorial effort could be his biggest head-trip yet, or just a colossal mess - Hoffman, as theater director Caden Cotard, juggles a handful of women in his life while attempting to construct a full scale replica of New York inside a Manhattan warehouse (there’s your Kaufmanesque touch) for his next play. Premiering next month at Cannes, Synecdoche also stars Emily Watson, Michelle Williams, Samantha Morton, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
