Synecdoche New York review

We booked some balcony tickets at the Duke of Yorks for Synecdoche New York. It's Charlie Kaufman's latest who also wrote Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, two of my favourite films. We haven't been to the D of Y since Quantum of Solace but the same stuffy hot air conditions and the sound quality still needing more clarity and volume.

It had an impressive cast and I did enjoy the first half as the main character went through a series of health ailments and, the main concept, of his theatre experiment of repeating his life with lookalike actors and a giant set. But after this, the novelty wore off and the film just plodded into self-indulgence.
