Michael Gracey's film 'Better Man' takes an audacious approach to depict Robbie Williams' life, contrasting public fame with private despair. Through the symbolic portrayal of Williams as a CGI chimpanzee, the film delves into themes of self-loathing and identity within the celebrity culture. Its emotional depth and bold narrative redefine the biopic genre, drawing parallels to the groundbreaking nature of classics like 'Citizen Kane'. The film presents a profound inquiry into the human condition, demonstrating how fame may mask deeper struggles with personal identity and connection.
One of the markers of good parenting is that your child doesn't have any wish to become famous.
Better Man feels as groundbreaking as Citizen Kane, a film that reimagined what movies could do and how they could speak about the human condition.
Gracey's choice to portray the star as a CGI chimpanzee navigating a live-action world is so daring that it borders on madness, and yet it works perfectly.
This isn't just a biopic; it's an existential inquiry into fame, identity, and the waves of human emotion.
