BUTT, BONER, FART … let's just get
those out of the way now, because
they aren't typical words you would
see in The Artisan magazine. Swiss Army
Man is a special fi lm that's NOT
for everyone. If you get past the
uncomfortable feelings associated
with those topics, you'll see a project
that beams with heart.
Developed in the Sundance fi lm
lab and helmed by the writer/direc-
tor duo, the Daniels (Kwan &
Scheinert, who were known for their
short fi lms and brilliant music video
"Turn Down for What"), Swiss Army
Man was THE most anticipated fi lm
at Sundance this year.
Opening to a packed house in
the largest theater, the audience
knew little about the fi lm other than
it starred Paul Dano and Daniel
Radcliffe, who plays a dead guy. In
the fi rst fi ve minutes, Dano (Hank)
escapes a deserted island by rid-
ing the bloated corpse of Radcliffe
(Manny) propelled by his farts.
