Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe really let one loose at Sundance this year. According to The Guardian, his latest "art house" picture, Swiss Army Man, was one of the most walked-out-on features in recent festival memory. Radcliffe plays a corpse that maintains a raging posthumous erection and constantly farts throughout the film's duration. A suicidal soldier (Paul Dano) stranded on an island with the flatulently deceased finds a companion in Radcliffe – think Tom Hanks talking to Wilson in Cast Away. Except Wilson is dead...and aroused...and farting all the time.
The brainchild of directorial-duo The Daniels, the cinematic auteurs responsible for Lil' Jon's "Turn Down for What?" music video, Swiss Army Man has been described by its toot-happy creators as "a fart drama."
Spoiler alert: The film concludes with Dano using Radcliffe's body as a jet ski to get off the island, propelled by his farts and navigated by steering with his...well, use your imagination. We are a long way from Hogwarts, folks.
