In 1993 Michael Keaton walked away from the Batman franchise. Here he plays Riggan Thomson, once famous as the superhero “Birdman,” now trying to reinvent himself with a high-brow stage play. Nothing stands in his way except an arrogant star (Ed Norton), his unstable daughter (Emma Stone) and his own personal psychosis. A scalpel-sharp dissection of Hollywood, Broadway and fame in the digital age, this surreal showbiz farce lays bare a movie star’s soul…but which movie star? D: Antonio Gonzalez Iñárritu, US, 2014, 119m
