all the reviews seem to be either "random insane pretentious film" or "random insane brilliant film" |

Well I saw this yesterday, and it was a really fucked up movie--not surprisingly. I made the mistake of watching both this and Inland Empire for the first time, while stoned, and my brain still feels like scrambled mush. Even though it's written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, Synecdoche seems very Lynch-ian actually (ie a complete mindfuck) and while being extremely fractured and fucked up, it seems to have more emotion than Lynch's flicks. I found myself a bit choked up, even though I was also very lost. Like another Kaufman movie Adaptation, Synecoche is metafictional to the point of sort of.. curling in on itself -- Though this time it gets seriously out of hand. I highly recommend this to anyone who's a fan of Kaufman or Lynch. It's refreshing to see relatively mainstream writers/directors attempt to shatter boundaries in storytelling like this. |

Addendum: I thought it was like David Lynch meeting Woody Allen. |

I'm glad others are interested in this movie. Some spoiler-type discussion would be in order once more of you have seen it. This movie is difficult to wrap your head around -- very philosophical and dense. I think Kaufman is similar to Lynch in their general weirdness. But I don't think Kaufman is usually weird just for the sake of it... His weirdness is part of a plot device usually -- The stories rely heavily on these weird aspects, which some might consider to be gimmicks. But his forte is using those bizarre concepts to expose the frailty and humanity of his characters... While probing the viewer and his/her emotions in a way that's nearly impossible with conventional film. |

Its not as deep as you guys seem to think it is. Its certainly not lynch. While it had some beautiful moments, its more a bunch of random stuff strung together with a semi-reasonable plot so that it appears to have more meaning than it really does. That in itself is practically what david lynch does, however this movie doesn't have any atmosphere. |

nothing is true unless we can all agree on it, unless of course we all share the same delusion. delusion. delusion. |

I thought it was pretty good, and that's the truth! I'm siding with Taxidermist and erasing his "random stuff" statement. The camera always goes to the person talking, not just anyone, and the twists were more alienating that random, that's the point. Worth watching again for detailed sets and character checklist, though I probably won't. 3.5/5 |

that = than Lynch ≠ Cronenberg ≠ Kaufman |

I think it has a dead atmosphere, the kind of disassociated atmosphere which reminds me of taking LSD; fractured & neutral, huge & silent. |

Like a sad kaleidoscope. |

it's a weird feeling your comment produces, both satisfying and disconcerting in recognizing that i know what you mean about that selfless silence. i was shocked every time i experienced it. now i know i'll have to see this film... |
