Iñárritu is a genius

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2015)

Alejandro González Iñárritu is a genius. Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) is an ironic, intelligent and surreal film that certainly needs to be seen more than one time. For a moment I thought this film would have had a Black Swan finale - Riggan just wanted to be perfect and does what he does - and I really liked the end.
The cinematography is outstanding: it involves the viewers in such a manner that makes them feel like part of the crew.
The score, by Antonio Sánchez, is simply perfect: the rhythm of the drums perfectly blends with the story.
The cast is fantastic: Michael Keaton is mesmerizing; Zach Galifianakis proves to be a good actor; Edward Norton seems to be born to play this role; Emma Stone delivers a fantastic and intense performance.
