New on video: 'Swiss Army Man' is twisted but fun
At Sundance earlier this year, the absurdist comedy "Swiss Army Man" rubbed so many critics and audience members the wrong way that it provoked mass walkouts and angry pans. But once the film moved from the festival circuit to the arthouse, it found an audience much more receptive to writer-directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan's gently twisted sense of humor. A combination of Robert Bresson and "Weekend at Bernie's," "Swiss Army Man" stars Paul Dano as a suicidal castaway who finds a flatulent corpse (played by Daniel Radcliffe) on the shore of a deserted island. He uses the dead man as a tool, a companion and an inspiration to survive. Filled with raunchy jokes and positive vibes, this is a movie that'll baffle some viewers, but it's such an original that it's hard not to admire.
