Story
Synecdoche, New York follows the life and work of Caden Cotard, a theater director who struggles with his career and relationships. In an attempt to capture the essence of life in his new play, he begins constructing a meticulous, full-sized replica of New York City inside a warehouse, aiming to fill it with actors living out their lives indefinitely. This project consumes him, leading to the deterioration of his relationships with his wife and daughter.
Summary
Directed by Charlie Kaufman, Synecdoche, New York is an existential drama that delves into themes of depression, meaninglessness, and nihilism through the lens of a theater director's quest for authenticity in art. The film explores the blurring lines between reality and illusion, as Caden's attempt to create a 'truthful' representation of life spirals out of control.
