One of the most anticipated movies at this year’s Sundance Film Festival also turned out to be among the most divisive. On Friday afternoon, the Eccles Theater had to turn away hundreds of movie fans, and even a few industry VIPs, at the packed premiere of “Swiss Army Man,” starring Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano.
But the bizarre fable about a lost man (Dano) who befriends a farting corpse (Radcliffe) could win the festival’s award for the most walk-outs, as a continuous stream of audience members kept standing up and bolting for the door throughout the film.
The indie, directed by the music video duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, opens with Radcliffe (as the corpse) washing onto a shore. Dano’s character inspects the body, as it comes to life by twitching and passing gas.
The story unfolds in a magical realist style and features long discussions about masturbation, isolation and the meaning of life. It also features a kiss between Dano and Radcliffe (who continues to flee his Harry Potter image by taking part in a reoccurring gag where his dead character maintains an erection).

he film opens on Hank (Paul Dano), a young man marooned on a desert island, humming a wistful tune as he ties a noose around his neck. Just as he is about to take his final step, he spies a body that has washed up on the beach (Daniel Radcliffe). After the grim realization that the body is, in fact, dead, Hank takes the man’s belt and prepares to make a new-and-improved noose for himself. Then he hears something–flatulence to be precise. What follows is Hank realizing that these cadaveric spasms and the string of farts escaping the body’s behind can be used to fashion a makeshift jet ski — and that’s exactly what he does. Paul Dano rides Daniel Radcliffe’s farting corpse like a jet ski across the ocean.
