Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Felipe F — 16 Feb 2016

Birdman tells the story of an actor (Keaton), famous for playing the iconic title character, who is experiencing difficulties in mounting a play on Broadway.

There is no arguing that this was one of the coolest films I watched in recent years. In addition to simulate a single continuous shot, there are so many amazing things going on that I really consider a cinematic experience.

Keaton's performance as the troubled actor, facing his own alter ego, and trying to make ends meet with his career and his family is absolutely great.

A film that deserves countless views for its courage, its technical level and most of all its originality.

The film won 4 Academy Awards: Best picture, director, original screenplay and cinematography.
