Synecdoche, New York Review

[wilkins3316]

One thing I hate about watching a Kaufman film is that when it's over, you're left to wait at least 5 years for his next major project... I've seen all the films at least 4 times each, but I crave more... Kaufman is a genius, fuck the critics...

Yeah I know, but if he put stuff out all the time, Id be less interested. Same with Jonze, Andersone, Gondy and Lynch. They are tantalizing. I agree with your list...somewhat. For me its:

6: Confessions

5: Human Nature (though I loved it)

4: Malkovitch

3: Eternal Sunchine

2: Adaptation

1: Synecdoche.

Still, Gondry's Science of Sleep stands as my favorite movie right now, simply bc it speaks to me in a very deep, personal, profound way.

This is a very late comment add, but who cares... My list of Kaufman films from most liked to least liked:

1. Synecdoche, New York

2. Human Nature

3. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

4. Being John Malkovich

5. Adaptation

6. Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind

nice review there jonah, but next time you might want to turn the mic up a bit. I had to set my volume to max to be able to here you.

YOU'RE NOT JOHN MCGIVNEY

Well you've convinced me, I'm definitely gonna look into that. It sounds amazing.

But sadly all my local theaters only play stupid movies like High School Musical and Beverly Hills Chihuahua.
