Man on the Moon
1999
Synopsis
Star of Saturday Night Live, Andy Kaufman’s unorthodox humour was misunderstood often. This is the story of his quick rise to fame, from his first stand-up performances in local clubs, to his role in the sitcom Taxi and a shocking wrestling show—to a last joke at his own funeral.
Editorial
Few filmmakers can boast such persistent interest in outsider figures railing against the system as Miloš Forman. Man on the Moon takes a mallet to the traditions of the biopic with anarchic gusto, extracting a career-defining performance from Jim Carrey that transcends the bounds of impersonation.
