Birdman

I'm not sure what happened in this film but I found it totally fascinating. The font and presentation of the credits in upper and lower case. Is he floating? The jazzy drumming which you think is just soundtrack until you see the drummer. Famous actors playing celebrities trying to be serious actors.

Even though I like many comic book movies, their predominance could not possibly be a healthy thing.

The way the camera follows one character and then another so closely. Theatre vs movies. Acting vs real life. Art vs business. Honesty and artifice. Truth or dare.

Is he crazy?
