The Truman Show

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 1999)

Marvelous film that mirrors the directorial touches of Capra or Sturges and the fantastical writings of Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond. Peter Weir's film of Truman Burbank, the unwitting star of his own real life television show, where every moment of every day of his entire life has been filmed is an original slice of life, catapulted by an outstanding performance by Jim Carrey (who was snubbed...Yes, by you Oscar!)as Truman, who discovers what is happening to him and searches for the truth.
