Insanity isn't even the start

Birdman (2014)

Directed by Alejandro G. Inarritu this film stars Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts and Zach Galifianakis. A film actor famous for his work on a super hero franchise tries to put together a play with artistic merit to create a legacy for himself.

At times it is hard to pin down what this film is preciesely but it is always entertaining and has plenty of depth. The plot is very much poking at the life of actors as well as the world of theatre and film with an interesting intertwining of the protagonist's life with the role he has in the play he is working on. There are a ton of long takes shot with steady cam that give the film a frenetic energy and must have been very hard to pull off.


5/5
