Birdman - Not a superhero movie

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2020)

If you're a dark comedy lover probably you've already seen this masterpiece but if not let me give you a reason to watch. Film revolves around Riggan Thomson, a fading cinema superhero, plans to resurrect his career with a passionate Broadway production, his ignorance and stubbornness' to accept reality makes him an annoying disturbed old guy. Michael Keaton as Riggon is surely the perfect fit for the character and he nailed it totally along with some watchful support by the seasoned cast including Edward Norton. Cinematography and Direction is something to look for in this masterpiece, once you'll start with this movie you'll probably get the feeling that film has been picturized in a single extended shot which shows the sheer brilliance of Emmanuel Lubezki & Alejandro. Film has bagged 4 Academy awards in 2015 including Best Picture, Director, Cinematography & Original Screenplay.
