Synecdoche, New York
Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a theatre director in Charlie Kaufman's metaphysical comedy. Disenchanted with the middlebrow nature of theatre and all that polite society calls "art", he takes over a rundown city block in New York - and employs actors to improvise lives in these apartments over months and years with no audience but themselves, creating a thrillingly authentic art-event-happening.

《微縮紐約/紐約提喻》
在查理·考夫曼的這部深奧喜劇中,菲利普·塞默·霍夫曼飾演一位劇場導演。他對平庸的劇場,以及所有上流社會所謂的“藝術”,感到幻滅絕望,于是租賃了紐約一片廢棄的街區,雇傭演員,長年累月進行即興創作,沒有一個觀眾,創造了觸目驚心的真正的行為藝術。
