Synecdoche New York

Follows the life of regional theater director Caden Cotard as he struggles with romantic relationships, as well as the problems of aging, and a mysteriously degenerative medical condition. He develops all this into a monumental theater piece. Building a full-scale replica of New York City inside an impossibly large warehouse and populating it with thousands of actors, Cotard spends the remainder of his life creating a piece so personal and epic in scope, that the line between reality and art collide, and the universe that he has created swallows up everything within it.

  • "Après avoir été bizarrement blessé à la tête, le metteur en scène new-yorkais Caden Cotard apprend que son épouse, artiste peintre, le quitte pour poursuivre sa carrière en Allemagne, et emmène avec elle leur fillette de quatre ans. Il confie alors son désarroi à sa thérapeute, mais celle-ci, auteure à succès, ne lui est d'aucune aide. Puis le vent tourne. Ayant décroché une importante bourse, Caden entreprend la création d'une pièce de théâtre monumentale, qu'il monte dans un vaste entrepôt désaffecté. Or, son labeur créatif s'échelonne sur des dizaines d'années, au cours desquelles les personnages et les situations dramatiques ne cessent de se confondre avec des personnes et des événements réels qui ont marqué son existence. Et si Caden lui-même n'était qu'un personnage?--[mediafilm.ca]."

  • "Charlie Kaufman writes and directs this darkly comic narrative-within-a-narrative drama about a theatre director, Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who is producing a new play on Broadway. In his attempt to say something real in a powerful new way, he gathers an ensemble cast together in a Manhattan warehouse and instructs them to live out their ordinary lives in a studio replica of New York City. As the constructed city grows and starts to take on a life of its own, Caden's own life goes into free fall: his relationships with his wife, ex-wife and daughter are all in ruins, and even his therapist has an agenda at odds with his own. As he becomes more and more involved with his masterpiece, the lines between the world he has created and the real world become hopelessly blurred."@en

Als er eines Tages ein seltsames Augenleiden feststellt, ist dies der Auftakt zu einer Serie von mysteriösen Nervenkrankheiten, die seine Körperfunktionen ausser Kraft zu setzen scheinen.

Seine neue Beziehung mit der sexy Kassiererin Hazel ist zu Ende, ehe sie richtig begonnen hat. - Cadens Leben ist offenbar völlig aus den Fugen. Irgendetwas muss geschehen!
