New York magazine has scored a bunch of interviews with fall season elite, so we’ll probably have a lot of few pieces in the next few days hours. All the pieces are super short Q&A’s, but all of them serve to illuminate something about their respective unreleased fall film. They caught up with “Synecdoche, New York” star and Charlie Kaufman muse, Catherine Keener and she hints a few things about the film which we’ve been almost a tad afraid to say cause we don’t want to ruin its chances. We liked the heady film, but the fact remains, this is a different and challenging Charlie Kaufman film that probably wont appeal to fleeting hipster film audiences who love the director simply for his quirks and fanciful whims.
“It completely wrecked me [emotionally],” she said. “Because of all the devices and the cultish quality of Charlie, people categorize him, but it’s all that heart. This [film] is superpersonal. It’s like these waves of emotion that kept happening, rolling you over and over. And then you finally swim ashore. It provoked some release of shit inside of me.”
Hey, we told you that this film was originally conceived as a horror and it’s much different than that, but be forewarned lovers of “Eternal Sunshine Of The Stuff That White People Like.”
