'Birdman' - Unconventional Style And Performances

Artistically crafted, the film is intellectually challenging and emotionally confronting. The director along with co-writers Nicolas Giacobone Alexander Dinelaris Jr and Armando Bo have designed the plot as a long-drawn anxiety packed nightmare of complex characters. But unfortunately these plot points are superficial and shallow in nature as they don't traverse beyond the developmental stage. These in no way hinder the overall effect of the film or its narration.

The dramatic pace along with cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki's manipulative camera work gives the appearance that most of the film is one continuous, seamless long take.

What adds to the viewing experience and enhances the psychological effect of the film, is its frenzied background score. Its adrenaline packed leitmotif of the drum score by Antonio Sanchez is effectively used to create and drive home the point of the insanity prevalent in the narration.

Overall, the film is a must watch for its unconventional presentation, style and performances.
