One of the challenging delights in store for fall moviegoers is Charlie Kaufman‘s directorial debut: Synecdoche, New York (the word is pronounced si-nek’-do-kee and defined here.) It is the 8 1/2 for the current generation (ever so slightly supplanting Wes Anderson‘s underrated The Life Aquatic) and proof that Kaufman‘s particular brand of auteurism survives beyond dropping his screenplays into the hands of Spike Jonze or Michel Gondry. The film has its own very assured directorial style, a component necessary to go along with the strange and alien screenplay.

While it has left critics and festival goers reeling from the experience, it is certainly something that plants a seed and grows in your brain. This is of course a good thing, and the film will achieve its cult status in due time. Personally, I anticipate taking it all in again, hopefully I’ll have better luck telling Emily Watson from Samantha Morton in those copper wigs.
Wow, all of this to say that a fabulous new One Sheet for the film popped up on line (The first one, a Cannes Promo One Sheet, is fine too).
A Larger version of the new One Sheet can be found tucked under the seat.
