A man lost on a deserted island stumbles upon a corpse in which he finds an unusual comrade and for which he finds unexpected uses.
A movie gem, pure poetry. Filled with symbols, one would have to spend hours trying to break them all down. An allegory of loneliness and isolation caused by mental health problems, the film manages to maintain attention and delight despite its longstanding contradictions and surrealism.
Paul Dano is wonderful as the main character, an idealist and an optimist, and Daniel Radcliffe has such an unusual role that it can only be said he is unique and perfect in his static and almost silent role.
And the music is so divine and obsessive, a real third comrade in the story.
