After Synecdouche New York, his last super depressing movie, Charlie Kaufmann surprises us with an even more dull and depressive movie experience. This movie portrays primarily Mr.Kaufmann himself, a man with an empty depressing life, having sex with random people just to suppress feelings of meaninglessness, if you have watched Synecdouche New York you basically know the whole story ahead, because its almost the same, just a more linear story and a bit more boring. Again Kaufmann manages to show to us, the most miserable side of life, he is basically the opposite of a Federico Fellini, who would always put a glimpse of hope and love in his movies, even though the story might have been sad or demoralizing. The movie focuses only on the bad aspects of life and does not even manage to explore them fully , just scratching the surface of this complex subject, it is essentially putting the spotlight on all the Yin and cutting out the Yang, but like i stated earlier, its not even doing a good job at that. Don't watch this if you are already depressed, because you will feel even more empty after watching this.
