SWISS ARMY MAN!

Hello beautiful people, how are you today? Today I bring you a wonder in the world of movies

It's a dark comedy-drama film released in June 2016, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Paul Dano, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Written and directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
The film was not released commercially but was widely accepted by critics, praising Radcliffe's twisted performance and his charismatic and bizarre character, but is available on the Netflix platform to her delight.

"Swiss Army Man" is about the desperate decision of a man who is on the verge of suicide on a desert island when he meets a body on the shore of the beach and goes in search of him in the hope that he is alive, but he is not, instead he meets a flatulent corpse who will help him get off the island and return to civilization with his strange "powers" and thus creating a strange friendship between the two.
The Daniels duo went on to create a film that will not leave anyone indifferent, causing different tastes and points of view as extreme as absolute hatred for this film or glorification of a story that is not easy to tell and interpret with an ending difficult to explain. Uncomfortable and touching in equal parts.
The film demystifies death in every possible way, and it does so by looking closely. There is no contrast more beautiful than that which occurs when someone saves his life by a miraculous call from death.

You don't have to put anyone else when you see how perfect Paul and Daniel are together, the union they create with their characters is so real and close that they make you believe that their friendship really goes beyond eternity. In this film you realize that each situation leaves you with a lesson, that you can always learn something new in life, that things are easy and simple but we make them complicated.
If you are one of those who supports black humor, do not believe in taboos and like funny movies, "Swiss Army Man" is for you. This film has an excellent and delicate work of photography, artistic direction and a brilliant soundtrack (Andy Hull and Robert McDowell); impeccable performances that reveal the sensitivity of the film, risky, original and without limits.

For me it's undoubtedly a difficult film to forget, fascinating, worth commenting on and sharing, I leave the trailer for you to see it.

XOXO Li.

  1. It's a bit of a weird movie, one of those kind of indi movies that Daniel makes, sometimes I feel like it's to get away from his "eternal" Harry Potter character. Something bizarre, but with great photography with a somewhat complicated plot, which only leaves us how to learn that you can learn something from each situation. in the end many things are not clear to us. But it is a somewhat black humor movie, which if you are looking for classic humor is not for you.
