Swiss Army Man 2016

The first film by the directing duo Daniels is bursting with creativity. Paul Dano plays a man stranded on an island, and Daniel Radcliffe portrays what is probably the world's most useful corpse. Both performers have frequently shown good judgment in the roles they have chosen. Dano is a very odd dude who consistently manages to find unusual roles. On the other hand, Radcliffe is a fascinating actor who, after his time as Harry Potter, has focused on playing really odd characters.

"Swiss Army Man" is a significantly less accessible film than Daniels' second film, "Everything Everywhere All At Once". It impresses above all with its visual wealth of ideas and funny, absurd dialogues. Although the lack of an engaging plot may turn off some viewers, I found myself thoroughly entertained the entire time. Mary Elizabeth Winstead says it perfectly: "What the fuck?"
