2010 films
A few people on my FL are doing a 100 Movie Challenge for 2010 (or variations thereof), so. Why not.
1) Man on the Moon, 1999, USA DIRECTED BY MILOS FORMAN
Never a fan of Jim Carrey, I approached this one with trepidation but came out the other end with a much-raised level of respect for his acting. I think he's said this was one of his most demanding film roles and it's not surprising, it must have been very exacting conveying the ambivalence and complexity of Andy Kaufman's personality and humour. On this side of the Atlantic we were never privy to the antics of Kaufman, only ever having seen him in Taxi, so it was fascinating to see how minor that series was in his wider career.
