The greater the need for studying (exams, papers), the more I procrastinate. This evening, instead of preparing for a solid mechanics exam, I've dawdled away time on Wikipedia. The most interesting nugget I've came away with is the knowledge that
Charlie Kaufman should be due out with another film soon!
Synecdoche, New York
From
Wikipedia:
Synecdoche, New York is an upcoming film to be written and directed by
Charlie Kaufman, in his directorial debut. The title is a play on
Schenectady, New York, where some of the story takes place, with
synecdoche, which reflects a trope of the film.
Summary: Caden, the main character, is a theatre director. He goes to the dentist and finds that there is something wrong with him. The precise nature of this is unknown. The movie goes into themes such as the nature of family, of home, and of male-female relationships. The movie begins to blur the nature of reality and representation in a nature consistent with the earlier work of
Charlie Kaufman.
