Source of story |
An original screenplay – some say based on Michael Keaton’s real life after he refused to continue to be Batman. |
Elevator Pitch |
An actor who was once a household name as “Birdman” attempts to restore his reputation by staging a play, which he has written and directs and in which he stars. |
Content |
The whole film appears to have been filmed as one shot, and is nearly all dialogue with a lot of swearing, typical of behind the scenes drama. |
A View |
An enjoyable film with the hero receiving a fantastic putdown from Lindsay Duncan as a theatre critic. The production contains ambiguities which you may or may not find agreeable. |
