Summary:
A daring, original and disconcerting film about the encounter between a castaway and a dead person that changes his life expectancies. With its multiple genres, it goes from eschatological to non-stop poetry and has all the elements to transform itself into a cult film.
Review:
Hank (Paul Dano) is a castaway who is about to commit suicide on a desert island, when he warns that the sea throws a corpse on the beach, a circumstance that will totally change his life expectancy.
The corpse is that of Manny (Daniel Radcliff), who becomes a kind of Swiss army knife for the protagonist (that's what his title alludes to in English), and with whom he will forge a curious bond.
The award-winning film by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert is one of those unclassifiable works that has all the elements to become a cult film. Combination of black comedy, fantasy cinema, love story, adventure and survival cinema, melodrama, zombie and learning story, with something of Quixotic and Frankenstein, it goes from the eschatological to non-stop poetry, supported by a great soundtrack.
A daring, original and disconcerting film supported by the great and played performances and the chemistry between Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliff.
