The movie

Hank is marooned on a deserted island. The desperate man is about to end his own life when he sees a corpse lying on the beach. It turns out the stiff still has enough life in him to produce impressive farts that can propel him into the air and have boners that would make the living green with envy. Hank will soon become friends with the decomposing body, and embark on an uncanny journey to try and make it home. You thought you’d seen it all? Think again! With Swiss Army Man, the Daniels have conjured up true cinematic weirdness that breaks new records in folly and absurdity. Their greatest achievement, though, is to have created something moving and poetic out of the unlikely pairing of a fart-propelled raft played by Daniel Radcliffe, and a man who recovers a liking for life in the person of Paul Dano. There’s only one thing we know for sure: you will never see Harry Potter the same way again.
