Synechdoche



I just finished watching Synechdoche, New York, which may be the best film I've ever seen. It makes me wonder whether, when we look back at the literature of our time, we will count screenwriters among the masters of the written word. Film is a visual language and when you consider the multifaceted mastery of language consisting within SNY, Charlie Kaufman stands among the greatest authors I have ever encountered.
