20 Best Indie Movies Of 2016

It might be known as ‘the movie where Harry Potter plays a farting corpse’, but don’t let that simplistic synopsis put you off Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s directorial debut.

Paul Dano stars as a man marooned on an island and on the verge of suicide who is unusually saved by the arrival of Daniel Radcliffe’s flatulent corpse, Swiss Army Man tells the tale of the unlikely bromance that develops between the pair as they both gradually bring each other back to life.

Granted, it might have its fair share of more lowbrow humour. There’s the aforementioned posthumous farting, plus projectile vomiting and a few post-mortem erections too but beneath all that is a heartfelt meditation on life, death and what it means to be human. Honestly.
