Wonderful Weird

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2015)

It is hard finding the right words to write about this film, it is just something you have to experience for yourself, maybe you will like it and maybe it is just too weird for some. It is a very weird film in many ways, the camera angels and flows are something new, individual and intertwined stories, strange compositions and difficult personalities are just some of the things we experience in this film.
It is very well done, has a strange twist of irony, mentioning cinematically and society related references and have reality distant illusions, it is all in all a great mix of fun, weird, fact and strange :)
The small universe or the way it is presented for the viewer is great, we mainly follow the main person, earlier movie actor Birdman, some of it is his thoughts, some is inside his head and how he perceive things and some is from the views of other people. It is all shown in this one-take kind of camera motion and that gives us a notion off being close to these people and moving in the same space as them.
In many ways this film is just good craftsmanship, cinematically, scenery, mood and music plays well together, especially the last part, the music and sounds have an impact on us and the actors, we meet the musician in the film and he is part of the whole experience, it is just one of the extra weird things in this small universe.
It is very entertaining and you sometimes sit there with open mouth through longer scenes of the film (maybe through it all, I didn't notice), it is entertaining and exciting and you have to follow closely both to get it all, but also to just enjoy the strangeness and different style.
