It can be hard for comedic performers to make the jump to dramatic credibility, and the stakes were particularly high for newly-minted superstar Jim Carrey. But THE TRUMAN SHOW ended up being the perfect material for the job, unlocking a winning humanity in Carrey’s screen presence while resonating with pre-millennial tensions about technology, media and the nature of reality in a universe of voyeurs.

He doesn’t know it, but everything in Truman Burbank’s (Jim Carrey) life is part of a massive TV set. Executive producer Christof (Ed Harris) orchestrates “The Truman Show,” a live broadcast of Truman’s every move captured by hidden cameras. Cristof tries to control Truman’s mind, even removing his true love, Sylvia (Natascha McElhone), from the show and replacing her with Meryl (Laura Linney). As Truman gradually discovers the truth, however, he must decide whether to act on it.

“One of the smartest, most inventive movies in memory, it manages to be as endearing as it is provocative.” – Washington Post
