Synecdoche, New York screening

Catch Philip Seymour Hoffman in Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut at this Aero screening. Upping the ante on the meta-scriptwriting notions of Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, the film focuses on a theater director who creates his personal mirror-image world for an ambitious ongoing art project by building a stunning replica of New York in a warehouse. Beloved film critic Roger Ebert deemed it the best film of its decade. See it on the big screen as American Cinematheque pays tribute to the tragic passing of the modern acting icon during its March "Philip Seymour Hoffman: An Actor's Actor" series.
