Synecdoche, New York

Synecdoche, New York is Charlie Kaufman’s surreal tale of the life Caden Cotard, a New York theatre director who we follow from his production of the Death of a Salesman, groundbreaking in that it features a young cast, to a massive production based on his own life. This features actors playing him and eventually actors playing the roles of the actors. We also see him contract a whole range of illnesses and conditions, including sychosis and psychosis, there is a difference.
