Swiss Army Man
Outrageously fun and deeply affecting, SWISS ARMY MAN is a
gonzo buddy comedy that is the feature film debut of acclaimed music
video directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan (collectively known as
DANIELS, and responsible for the visionary “Turn Down For What” video,
among many others). Bursting with limitless creativity in both form and
content, SWISS ARMY MAN goes from the absurd to the emotional to the
whimsical to the profound and back again. Hank
(Paul Dano) is stranded on a deserted island, having given up all hope
of ever making it home again. But one day everything changes when a
corpse named Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) washes up on shore; the two become
fast friends, and ultimately go on an epic adventure that will bring
Hank back to the woman of his dreams. Swiss Army Man creates a world
like no other-a place of pure fantastical imagination, brimming with
magical realism yet featuring two characters whose dreams and fears are
entirely relatable. Dano and Radcliffe both fully commit to their
directors’ audacious vision, and their work is exceptional, finding the
perfect balance of humor and heart that drives the whole film. A
celebration of all the wonders cinema has to offer, SWISS ARMY MAN is a
cultural phenomenon in the making; a surreal and wholly original
examination of human vulnerability and connection that must be
experienced.
