Swiss Army Man may be the wackiest, most delightful film to be released in 2016 so far. Since it’s premiere at Sundance Film Festival, media outlets have been trying to figure out the appeal of directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert movie about a farting corpse. At first glance, it may seem like a movie you’d want to watch by yourself, what with the negative stigma of gas in our culture, but Swiss Army Man goes way deeper than any fart movie before it. It’s dark.
The film begins with Hank (Paul Dano) alone on an island, seconds before he’s about to hang himself. But before kicking the bucket beneath him, he spots a body washed ashore. Enter Manny (Daniel Radcliffe). When he realizes the only thing Manny’s going to offer up is his farts, Hank tries hang himself again. Until he realizes that he just might be able to flee the island, riding Manny like a speedboat, his gas leading the way. It’s funny when you see it, and pretty unnerving when you actually think about it. Hank’s options are farts or death. But as the movie flows along, it becomes clear that the duo is more than just two bodies trying to find their way home. Hank and Manny, in an odd way, are kind of the modern day Dante and Virgil.
