JIM CARREY | Characters, Comedy, and Existence | TIFF Long Take

“You should think of the word ’depressed’ as ’deep rest’. Your body needs to be depressed. It needs deep rest from the character that you’ve been trying to play.“ This week on TIFF Long Take, Rob and Geoff lose their minds as they sit down with one of their childhood idols, Jim Carrey. The legendary comic is the subject of Chris Smith’s new documentary ’Jim & Andy: the Great Beyond - the story of Jim Carrey & Andy Kaufman with a very special, contractually obligated mention of Tony Clifton’, an exploration into Carrey’s intense adoption of Kaufman’s persona during the making of the 1999 film ’Man on the Moon’.
