Birdman
Winner! 4 Academy Awards - Best Film, Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Original Screenplay.
In a spectacular comeback, Michael Keaton’s own career informs his portrayal of an actor who once played an iconic superhero, now mounting a vanity project on Broadway. In a remarkable change of pace for writer/directed Alejandro G Innaritu (Babel, 21 Grams), Riggan Thomson (Keaton) must battle his demons to win back his career, his family, and indeed himself. Phenomenal cinematography from Emmanuel Lubezki (Children of Men) takes us backstage as tension builds in the countdown to opening night.
With an all-star cast including Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, and Naomi Watts, Variety has called Birdman “A triumph on every creative level, from casting to execution”
