Mr. Coo Coo
I saw Mr. Kaufman's film yesterday, Synecdoche, New York, and while he is not a filmmaker-he is a writer with a good eye-Charlie gives a body something to chew on.
The main character, one Caden Cotard, is played very, very well by Phillip Seymour Hoffman. This character is ill, he is well, he struggles, and of course is confounded with everything that goes his way. Sounds dull, doesn't it? Charlie Kaufman is one of the very few Americans working in the Reality milieu; it is sloppy, occasionally unhappy work. However, for those of us who can relate, these sorts of films are little dreams. It's nice to see that someone other than yourself can be very strange.
