Freeview film of the day : friday 21st of February

Synecdoche, New York (2008 118min.) [BBC2 11.05pm]

Drama starring Philip Seymour Hoffman. Theatre director Caden Cotard has marriage problems and issues with his health, but his artistic talent earns him the prestigious MacArthur Grant. Caden decides to channel all his energies into rehearsing a production based on his own history and experiences, an unending project that takes on an epic life of its own.

Never seen anyone comment on it that didn't fall into either the love it or hate it camp. A film with no middle ground among it's viewers, which is rare.
