CTP 82: Synecdoche, New York

Existential horror and disembodiment are inherent to Kauffman's work, and no less is true in his 2008 opus, Synecdoche, New York. Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman,  Michelle Williams, and many others, Kauffman's directorial debut aims to capture a life in two hours. In what is in no way a depressing episode, the guys discuss the limits of human agency, how to live an artistically satisfying life, and if these things are even possible against the looming milestone of our inevitable demise!
