Synecdoche, New York, is a haunting film. In the weeks since I saw it, I'm not sure a day has gone by that I haven't thought about it. It's also a humongous, confusing mess.

Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York, has been generating positive buzz ever since it premiered at Cannes this year. Time Magazine calls it "A miracle movie," while Variety claims it is "a wildly ambitious and gravely serious contemplation of life. The picture exerts power and artistic mystery."

The glamour, the parties, and all those premieres and press conferences are over for another year, as the Palme d'Or was given out at the award ceremony to mark the end of the Cannes Film Festival 2008. A French film called The Class got the Palme d'Or this year, and its young stars were full of smiles and excitement at their win, Benicio del Toro and Catherine Deneuve also received awards at the ceremony, and jurors Natalie Portman and Sean Penn and actor Robert De Niro were among those giving them out.
But before the awards there was one more premiere, this time for Synecdoche and a photocall with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Michelle Williams, Catherine Keener and Samantha Morton, as well as a fabulous Dior party hosted by Sharon Stone.
