Birdman is one of those films that people like me have been predicting will be an Oscar contender, despite the fact that we know next to nothing about the film.  What we do know is that it’s been described as a dark comedy.  We know that it features Michael Keaton as an actor who is best known for playing a super hero.  We know that it has an excellent and quirky supporting cast that is made up of wonderful performers like Edward Norton, Amy Ryan, Naomi Watts, and Emma Stone.  Perhaps most importantly, we know that it was directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, a brilliant director who one usually does not associate with comedy.

The first teaser for Birdman was released today and having seen it, I’m even more excited to see the actual movie.  I say this despite the fact that the trailer doesn’t reveal anything new about the film.  However, the trailer makes good use of Crazy and I now really want to know what that marching band is doing on the stage.
