Today, we\u2019re watching a video essay on Manchester Orchestra\u2019s incredibly surreal soundtrack for Daniels\u2019 2016 film Swiss Army Man.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>There\u2019s an old truism that comedy is a lot harder to pull off than drama. Even harder, I would argue, is the balancing act at play in Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan\u2019s <em><strong>Swiss Army Man<\/strong><\/em>: a tonal tightrope walk that takes its silliness very seriously. In truth, it would probably be impossible to make a movie like <em>Swiss Army Man\u00a0<\/em>without an undeniably sincere commitment to absurdism.<\/p>\n<p>It follows Hank Thompson (<strong>Paul Dano<\/strong>), a man who has been marooned on an island for enough time that he is seriously contemplating suicide. On the verge of hanging himself, he spots something washed ashore on the beach: a pallid, waterlogged corpse (<strong>Daniel Radcliffe<\/strong>). After attempting (and failing) to resuscitate the dead body, Hank can\u2019t help but laugh at the corpse\u2019s, uh, \u201coff-gassing,\u201d let\u2019s call it. Without much hesitation, Hank mounts the farting corpse and proceeds to ride it around the ocean like a jet ski. Soon, Hank and the corpse (who learns to talk and adopts the name Manny) have even more special abilities, with a practical versatility comparable to a swiss army knife.<\/p>\n<p>All this abject silliness begs the question: \u201chow do you score a film as wild and wistful as\u00a0<em>Swiss Army Man<\/em>?\u201d As the video essay below plots out in more detail, the movie\u2019s score was composed by <strong>Andy Hull\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Robert McDowell<\/strong>, the singer and lead guitarist of the Atlanta-based indie rock band Manchester Orchestra. Composed primarily of layered vocal tracks (including Radcliffe\u2019s ethereal rending on \u201cCotton Eye Joe\u201d), the soundtrack was played live on-set and is a dictionary definition example of a score\u2019s ability to be as subversive and hilarious as its accompanying picture.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you or anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline\u200b at\u200b 1-800-273-TALK (8255)\u200b.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_%E2%80%9CSwiss_Army_Man_The_Sound_of_Absurdity%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Watch \u201cSwiss Army Man: The Sound of Absurdity\u201d:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Swiss Army Man, what does absurdity sound like?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cZep59lS94Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\" data-inc=\"3\">This video essay on the soundtrack to Daniels\u2019 film <em>Swiss Army Man\u00a0<\/em>is by\u00a0<strong>Niche Nonsense<\/strong>, a video essay channel that provides, well, niche nonsense.
