The Truman Show

Mar 4—Mar 6, 2024
    Part of
  • BAM Film 2024
  • and
  • The Paranoid Style in American Cinema, 1974-1999
Directed by Peter Weir (1998)
With Jim Carrey, Laura Linney, Noah Emmerich

He's the star of the show—but he doesn’t know it. Jim Carrey shines as the unwitting Truman Burbank in this mind-bending dramedy from director Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poets Society) about a man whose life is a nonstop TV show—literally. Triumphant, heartbreaking, and wildly funny, The Truman Show somehow managed to predict influencer culture, the rise of live-streaming, and a social-media-fueled desire to live our lives in public.
