Andy Kaufman (Jim Carrey) was considered one of the most innovative, eccentric and enigmatic performers of his time. A master at manipulating audiences, Kaufman could generate belly laughs, stony silence, tears or brawls. Whether inviting the audience out for milk and cookies or challenging women to inter-gender wrestling matches, he specialized in creating performances so real that even his close friends were never sure where the truth lay.

Renowned for Carrey’s Golden Globe-winning performance that had carried over into reality during production, Man on the Moon is a hilarious and often dark biography that is as enigmatic and provocative as the man it’s covering

Man on the Moon screens Saturday, September 2nd.
