Synecdoche, New York (2008)
Synopsis: “A theatre director struggles with his work, and the women in his life, as he creates a life-size replica of New York City inside a warehouse as part of his new play.”
“This film balances everything from humor, suspense, and at times is downright depressing. The reason why this film is 10/10 for me is not only its grand themes but also its most subtle details. For instance, in the opening scenes, we are brought months into the future without realizing time is passing without paying close attention to the dates in the newspapers, the times mentioned on the radio, and the dialogue. We realize as the audience that through repetition in daily life, we can forget about time. These small details can be forgotten but definitely add to rewatching the film trying to spot them out.” — jonymcg
