“I lost control”
This is what happened to Jim Carrey on set man on the moon, a tragic biopic about American comedian Andy Kaufman, directed by Miloš Forman in 1999. This extreme involvement of the star revealed The mask is the basis of a Netflix documentary, Jim and Andy by Chris Smith (The Yes Men, AmericanMovie) constructed from images captured during filming The man on the moon.

His biopic offers Jim Carrey in perhaps his most important role. Jim and Andy draws attention to his complete erasure behind his performance and character. In an on-camera interview, Carrey reveals how he 100% slipped into the role, bringing to life the features of the man who was his idol, with whom Carrey says he communicated telepathically.

This production of images, which remained unpublished for twenty years, served as material for a documentary film. Released in April 2020, Jim and Andy now reappearing on Netflix.
