Review of Synecdoche, New York (2008) by Panayiota K — 04 Sep 2017
It is not moving in the conventional way. The majority of Kaufman's films are not only original and unique in the confines of their environment, but they don't make the viewer feel a way they've felt before.
I watched Synecdoche, New York feeling disturbed, depressed, and in deep pain. Now, I've seen moving movies in my lifetime, but they typically make me feel the same way even if at different levels of intensity.
This time it's an entirely singular feeling, making you think differently than most movies do. It's not a film you watch or follow, but more so encounter. Feel the environment, soak in the presence, and just open your heart.
