Cinephile No. 462 "Birdman"

"Birdman" is one of the most original pieces of cinema I've seen in a very long time. From the plot, to the acting, to the way it was shot, this film was refreshing and a nice break from a pretty mundane year for movies. Plus, it features one of my favorite actors in the world, Michael Keaton, playing a role meant for him. As you sit through this delight, Keaton who was my childhood Batman, you can't help but notice life imitating art. An actor portraying an actor who is making a comeback who is making a comeback. This film is part statement, part work of art, but hopefully it is a reintroduction to Mr. Keaton and his talents. 

Thanks for entering my world,
