Out of all of the titles being released in the upcoming few months, no other has gotten my curiosity piqued like Alejandro Iñárritu’s Birdman
. Reportedly having been shot as if it were one long single take, the film already looks eerily gorgeous with surreal imagery in the most mundane situations. Starring Michael Keaton as a washed-up actor whose main claim to fame was a character called “Birdman,” this film looks to straddle the line of real life comparisons and storytelling wonderfully.
With a cast that includes Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Andrea Riseborough, Amy Ryan, and Naomi Watts, it’s hard not to be excited, but the director also has a history of strong work such as Biutiful and Babel. This film looks unconventional in all of the right ways and the trailer alone has me more excited than I ever would have previously thought. Hitting the festival circuit this fall and in theaters on limited release October 17th, this is a film where the expectations are limitless.
Check out the official synopsis and trailer below!
A washed-up actor who once played an iconic superhero must overcome his ego and family trouble as he mounts a Broadway play in a bid to reclaim his past glory.
