Man on the Moon

A nod to the R.E.M. song dedicated to Andy Kaufman, Man on the Moon chronicles the life of the irreverent American comedian, played by Jim Carrey. Through bewildering acts, public provocations, and performances that blurred the line between reality and fiction, Kaufman radically defied the rules of comedy, becoming a pioneering figure whose approach continues to inspire generations of comedians. This biopic—featuring Danny DeVito, Courtney Love, and Paul Giamatti—traces his rise from stand-up clubs to success on the sitcom Taxi, covering his controversial wrestling matches and the mysteries surrounding his life and death.
