Trailer: Synecdoche, New York

After handing off screenplays to likeminded outsiders Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) and Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine), Oscar winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman minded this dizzying exposition of an auteur’s blown-out grey matter - ego, impenetrability, mortality, and all that rot - from start to finish.

Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Michelle Williams, Samantha Morton and Tilda Swinton. Scheduled release: October 24, 2008.
