WEEK 24: A FILM WITH JIM CARREY
Review: In “Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond”, we see behind-the-scene footage
of the making of “Man on the Moon”, where Jim Carrey portrayed real-life
comedian Andy Kaufman, with Carrey giving in-depth commentary of his
experiences.
During the four months of
filming the 1999 movie “Man on the Moon”, we get a glimpse of Jim Carrey’s
portrayal of Andy Kaufman. In those four months, Carrey never steps out of his
role as Kaufman (and his alter ego Tony Clifton_. The cast and crew go crazy
with him, and occasionally the audience does too. But at the same time it is an
ode to the effort actors put into a role.
It's a shocking yet
inspiring look behind the scenes of this Andy Kaufman biopic. With Jim Carrey
himself looking back at this period. Which was decisive for his later life.
Rating: 3,5/ 5
