Amoeba Music

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.
