surprising!

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 1998)

I am very glad having seen this movie at the theater. I'm lucky because I was able to see it before someone tells me the story. I knew it was inspired by Louis 19, a movie "made in Quebec", and I was expecting to something slightly the same (with a budget ten times greater). I was wrong. At the beginning, I was amazed and I understood Truman's situation only after half an hour. What is funny in this movie is the way it ridiculizes TV programs and soap operas. The sequence when Truman meets his father is one of the funniest I have seen in my life
