Overview
Offbeat documentarian Chris Smith provides a behind-the-scenes look at how Jim Carrey adopted the persona of idiosyncratic comedian Andy Kaufman on the set of Man on the Moon.
It’s sad and a bit amazing that Carrey can’t find work anymore. His analysis of himself and how he got lost in the character is extremely interesting. I have to admit that part of me wonders if – in the spirit of Kaufman – we’ve been had again. If that is the case, great.
