Synecdoche, New York (2008)
Der Theaterregisseur Caden Cotard lebt in der Kleinstadt Schenectady im Bundesstaat New York. 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. Dann verlässt ihn auch noch Ehefrau Adele mitsamt der gemeinsamen Tochter Olive in Richtung Berlin, wo sie eine hippe Künstlerexistenz beginnt. 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! Also mietet er sich für das neue Stück seiner Theatergruppe ein riesiges leerstehendes ehemaliges Kaufhaus mitten in New York. Nach und nach bastelt er darin eine Nachbildung der realen Welt mit Schauspielern, die darin ein fiktionales Leben leben.
Der Regisseur: Charlie Kaufman
