Charlie Kaufman and Eva H.D. in person! Kaufman’s directorial debut follows a theater director whose ambition to reproduce life onstage grows to monumental proportions. Philip Seymour Hoffman heads a stellar cast including Samantha Morton, Michelle Williams, Emily Watson, and Catherine Keener, to name a few. “Loop-the-looping big themes such as mortality, infidelity, and impotence, this is an hilarious, intellectual roller-coaster ride” (Larushka Ivan-Zadeh). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.
