Is Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu‘s Birdman as good as the early buzz indicates or is it a case of “the early bird gets the worm… and acts as if it ate caviar”? Early festival buzz is always a tough one for me to gauge until I’ve seen it for myself and with all the hype surrounding Birdman it sounds as if the film lives up to it and then some, but we’re still a month away from the October 17 release date.
So far we have a trailers and now the first clip for us to judge what may end up being an Oscar favorite… have a look and let me know what you think in the comments below.
Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance is a black comedy that tells the story of an actor (Michael Keaton) – famous for portraying an iconic superhero – as he struggles to mount a Broadway play. In the days leading up to opening night, he battles his ego and attempts to recover his family, his career, and himself.
