Nov 5, 2008 · "Synecdoche, New York" follows a life that ages from about 40 to 80 on that scale. Caden Cotard ( Philip Seymour Hoffman ) is a theater director, with all of the hangups and self-pity, all the grandiosity and sniffles, all the arrogance and fear, typical of his job.
As the city inside the warehouse grows, Caden's own life veers wildly off the tracks. The shadow of his ex-wife Adele, a celebrated painter who left him years ago for Germany's art scene, sneers at him from every corner. Somewhere in Berlin, his daughter Olive is growing up under the questionable guidance of Adele's friend, Maria.

One over-zealous critic called it a "religious experience".
