Om denne filmen

From the writer of Adaptation, Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Theater director Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is mounting a new play. His life catering to suburban blue-hairs at the local regional theater in Schenectady, New York is looking bleak. His wife Adele (Catherine Keener) has left him to pursue her painting in Berlin, taking their young daughter Olive with her. Worried about the transience of his life, he leaves his home behind. He gathers an ensemble cast into a warehouse in New York City, hoping to create a work of brutal honesty. He directs them in a celebration of the mundane, instructing each to live out their constructed lives in a growing mockup of the city outside. The years rapidly fold into each other, and Caden buries himself deeper into his masterpiece, but the textured tangle of real and theatrical relationships blurs the line between the world of the play and that of Caden's town deteriorating reality.

Not disappointed. Plenty to chew on. Not as good as Mongolia but still very good. The transcription to digital here is a little off...even using the screen size button it is a little "squeezed in". Good sound.

I LOVE this movie but Google Play quality sucks! This was the first time I bought something off here and also the last. On the plus side, my purchase also played through youtube video but it was also in SD!

Great, complex movie which will keep you thinking for months about it. Wonderful performances.
