‘Synecdoche’ Gets A New (Less Depressing) Look

Charlie Kaufman’s unpronounceable new film, “Synecdoche, New York” has released a more mainstream friendly poster for its American distribution.  Since they are already carrying a confusing title, not to mention a depressing and mind-bending film, we noted earlier this year that their Cannes poster might work for those intellectual europeans, but left us Americans, like, really confused.  So we are a little relieved to see that the marketing people for the film are at least giving it a chance by releasing a poster that will trick a few unsuspecting members of the general pubic into watching this thing.
