While Charlie Kaufman is best known for cerebral, intricately constructed metafictions like ANOMALISA and SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK, his recent collaborations with writer Eva H.D. find him working in a different mode: impressionistic, intuitive, and vividly sensorial. Both city symphonies of a kind, these two shorts—the restless New York cine-poem JACKALS & FIREFLIES and the aching, Athens-set elegy HOW TO SHOOT A GHOST, starring Jessie Buckley—drift dreamily through the urban landscape, finding bruising poignancy in the small, fleeting moments and encounters that give life its infinite richness.
