Quote:One of the most anticipated movies at this year’s Sundance Film Festival also turned out to be among the most divisive. On Friday afternoon, the Eccles Theater had to turn away hundreds of movie fans, and even a few industry VIPs, at the packed premiere of “Swiss Army Man,” starring Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano.

But the bizarre fable about a lost man (Dano) who befriends a farting corpse (Radcliffe) could win the festival’s award for the most walk-outs, as a continuous stream of audience members kept standing up and bolting for the door throughout the film.

The indie, directed by the music video duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, opens with Radcliffe (as the corpse) washing onto a shore. Dano’s character inspects the body, as it comes to life by twitching and passing gas.

The story unfolds in a magical realist style and features long discussions about masturbation, isolation and the meaning of life. It also features a kiss between Dano and Radcliffe (who continues to flee his Harry Potter image by taking part in a reoccurring gag where his dead character maintains an erection).

Quote:he film opens on Hank (Paul Dano), a young man marooned on a desert island, humming a wistful tune as he ties a noose around his neck. Just as he is about to take his final step, he spies a body that has washed up on the beach (Daniel Radcliffe). After the grim realization that the body is, in fact, dead, Hank takes the man’s belt and prepares to make a new-and-improved noose for himself. Then he hears something–flatulence to be precise. What follows is Hank realizing that these cadaveric spasms and the string of farts escaping the body’s behind can be used to fashion a makeshift jet ski — and that’s exactly what he does. Paul Dano rides Daniel Radcliffe’s farting corpse like a jet ski across the ocean.

Apparently, it's his way of distancing himself from his Harry Potter fame.

Some young blockbuster stars like Orlando Bloom and Leonardo DiCaprio go on to have a great career with many other notable roles afterwards, and some just fade into obscurity and turn into sad, desperate hacks. Radcliffe clearly belongs to the latter kind.

Ever been to a film festival? 95% of the movies are this bad. The few I was involved in sucked - but I did some amazing FX on practically a zero budget.

The dude is worth $110 million - take some time to pick a good script. Don't just make a movie as a favor to your coke dealer.

That's what happens when the only reason why you became a star in the first place was because you resembled the 11 year old nerdy, English boy of an insanely popular series of children's books.

It sounds horrible but I kind of want to watch it just because it offended fucktards.

What type of mind thinks up a script like this?

I'm sure his millions in the bank and over the rest of his life is a hard thing to take too.

He's had plenty of TV roles since Harry Potter - good, prominent, non-flatulent roles. He surely can't be that thirsty for work.

WNW, but this alone has more integrity, intelligence and relevance to today's world than former co-star Emily Watson's feminist lecturing.

This sounds like a movie they would be watching in Idiocracy.

I'd watch it. I've seen worse movies. A farting corpse jetski is something I'd like to see. Not wild about seeing Harry Potters secret wand though.

Why would you do that to your friend and lover?

They can't be serious... really? Has the indie world run out of ideas?

You beat me to it, and for that I hate you.

I can still be the first to post the clip though.

To be fair, it's never had any in the first place.

Wow. At face value, they may actually have made a film worse than Mulholland Drive...

You asked for it.

Watch "A Serbian Film".
