Synecdoche, New York (Film)
Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut, a comedy drama, stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as Caden Cotard, a frustrated theatre director so bound up in his own work and failings he almost doesn't notice his wife Adele leaving him. When an unexpected grant of $500,000 allows him to realise his dream; he rents a cavernous warehouse and sets about rehearsing a play based on his life and the world around him, with sets modelled on New York and a script comprising of gnomic post-it notes. But will the play ever reach its first night? Kaufman's film is an almost Bergmanesque meditation on life and death which, as with his scripts for Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich, refuses to kowtow to convention but by its very subversion, provides a fascinating, challenging viewing experience.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Film)
Michel Gondry's film is a fascinating melange of romance, fantasy and illusion, co-scripted with Charlie Kaufman. Joel Barish and Clementine Kruczynski were once madly in love, but their affair has gone stale. And when they meet again by chance, she doesn't just blank him, she genuinely doesn't know him. Then Joel finds out the truth. Using a new and highly experimental technology, she is having her memories of him erased from her brain. In revenge, he's determined to undergo the same process but as dodgy scientist Dr Howard Mierzwiak begins the procedure, Joel changes his mind. Can he hang on to enough memories to win Clementine back?
