FREE Sneak Preview

A theater director struggles with his work and the women in his life as he attempts to create a life-size replica of New York inside a warehouse as part of his play. This is the directorial debut of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, ADAPTATION, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND). A.O. Scott of THE NEW YORK TIMES offers up: "Like his protagonist, a beleaguered theater director played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, [Kaufman] has created a seamless and complicated alternative reality, unsettling nearly every expectation a moviegoer might have about time, psychology and narrative structure." Prepare for mental calisthenics!!!
