On the morning that my sister eloped with Louis Thanksgiving, the Bird Man gave me his own version of Virgil's advice -- a swamp aphorism, he said, a maxim commonly uttered by the moonshiners, the glade crackers, the plume and alligator hunters, by the famous bird warden Guy Bradley and the Seminole and the Miccosukee tribes alike, and he was surprised I'd never heard it: "Nobody can get to hell without assistance, kid."

Fantasmas, hombres pájaro, caimanes colorados...sin saber en ningún momento en que lado de la línea que divide lo real de lo fantástico nos encontramos, con una estética Tim Burton y un lenguaje detallista sin llegar a ser farragoso, Swamplandia! es una opera prima algo corta de trama pero muy original, y sin duda recomendable.
7/10
