Your support makes all the difference.Upon its initial screening at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, Swiss Army Man caused quite a stir. Headline’s screamed ‘Daniel Radcliffe’s farting corpse movie’ and the entire world was confused about what was going on.
With the film hitting cinemas later this year, a trailer has finally hit the internet, doing absolutely nothing to explain what on earth is going on.
War & Peace’s Paul Dano is there, looking bearded and slightly bonkers. Radcliffe plays a corpse who farts, breathes fire and is a jet ski. I don’t know either.
At the time of its release, Radcliffe said of the film: “It's exciting using farts to make people super uncomfortable… I loved seeing how painful I could make things look”.
According to reports, many critics walked out of the cinema when shown at the film festival. From the trailer, it is not exactly hard to imagine why. However, in her review for The Independent, Emma Jones gave kudos to Radcliffe “for making his flatulent corpse so watchable”.
You can watch for yourself when the film hits cinemas 17 June.
