Why does it always seem like such a ridiculously long time until I see a film that blows my mind? Don't get me wrong, I have seen a lot of great films over the years but it's been a real long time since i have seen something that has put my jaw to the ground. Out of the movies I have seen this year so far, Coraline was my contender for best film however I have just seen Charlie Kaufman's “Synecdoche, New York” and it has frazzled my mind.

I wasn't the hugest fan of “eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” and It took me a little while to get into “being John Malkovich” but “Synecdoche, New York” is definitely different...its still confusing as shit but in the best way possible. I don't really want to review this film as reviewing isn't really my thing and as this is my second blog in 3 days that is on the verge of a review I will keep it brief, but I will say this; If there is one film you NEED to see, its “Synecdoche, New York” Its so original that I'm lost for words. You will have to forgive my crap description of the film but I am writing this literally just after seeing it and I haven't come down off of the emotion it has put me on … whatever that emotion is. It's that one you cant describe, you know the one. The one where the centre of your chest feels tingly and weird and doesn't so much feel like a feeling as it does a resination of all your feelings at once and a displacement of various different memories all coming to light at once which only manages to confuse the fuck out of you. But its a weird mix of confusion and absolute understanding that by the end of the film you seem to know everything and nothing.

In case you didn't guess, the movie is a trip. I don't want to say anything else because I don't want to ruin anything or confuse you before you've seen it. So I'm going to stop right here and give you some time to see it …

… go on then. What are you waiting for?
