I was finally able to watch Synecdoche, New York, the 2008 film that Roger Ebert hailed as the best of the decade. Like any self-respecting art film, it’s gloomy and barely comprehensible with a decent dose of nudity.
Johnny Depp. Tim Burton. A smiling cat and a bunny in a waistcoat. Apparently, these and more were not enough to keep me awake. I still slept through Alice in Wonderland.
I watched this movie with the simple expectation of reliving the adventure of a classic children’s book. As the closing credits rolled, it felt like I just finished an intense session with a shrink.
