New Charlie Kaufman Work

2006-Sep-13 by Laughcalvin

 The LA Times' Jay Fernandez has read the new CF script called "Synecdoche, NY" and boy is he jazzed:  ..according to Fernandez, it is great, a "wrenching, searching, metaphysical epic... about death and sex and the vomit-, poop-, urine- and blood-smeared mess that life becomes physiologically, emotionally and spiritually. It reliably contains Kaufman's wondrous visual inventions, complicated characters, idiosyncratic conversations and delightful plot designs, but its collective impact will kick the wind out of you".

Fernandez was so blown away by the read that he goes on to write "If this film gets made in any way that resembles what's on the page... Synecdoche will make Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine look like instructional industrial films. No one has ever written a screenplay like this. It's questionable whether cinema is even capable of handling the thematic, tonal and narrative weight of a story this ambitious." (Thanks Scott!)

For an LA Times critic to gush like that over a script- it must be magnificent. You go, Charlie!
