There are a few people more perfect to portray the total disintegration of an artist than Charlie Kaufman and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The absurd is that through this disintegration, with which the artist learns about himself and creates the work of art, it’s the work of art that takes control of the dying artist. At the end, once it has sucked the life of the artist it will have its own life and, naturally, its own death. Synecdoche, New York is one of the most enchanting explorations into art that the cinema has offered for years.
