Daniel Radcliffe's new movie project, Swissy Movie, received some obvious snobs from this year's Sundance Festival audience.

Hollywood Reporter said that hundreds of moviegoers, some of them are executives of the film event left their seats during the showing of the indie film on Friday afternoon at the Eccles Theater.

It was said that during the showing of the film, lots of audiences stood up from their chairs and bolted to the door with some leaving the theater. Though some remained but the audience is totally divided, according to Toronto Sun.

The movie is said portray a weird friendship between a lost man played by Paul Dano and Radcliffe who acted as a corpse. The two met in an isolated island with Dano talking to a farting, dead corpse with an erection to fight his loneliness.

It also engages in long, philosophical discussions about life, masturbation and loneliness that ended up with actors kissing each other.

Amidst, the audience' discouraging reaction, the 26-year old actor said that he loves playing the part of a dead corpse, Independent reported.

"I loved seeing how painful I could make things look," he said.

As to the corpse' defining character as 'farting' and aroused, the actor praised it saying 'it's perverse and mad.'

"It's exciting, to be honest, using farts other than comedy, like using them for plot and emotion and making some people super uncomfortable. There is something wonderful about it."

Filmmakers, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert were also proud of their work.

"If you read the headlines, they're just amazing. I couldn't have written them better myself," director Kwan said.
