DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: This new Netflix documentary utilizes a rich treasure trove of formerly unseen footage, filmed for a proposed but unrealized documentary during the time in 1999 when Jim Carrey played performance-art comic Andy Kaufman in the biographical movie Man on the Moon. It also interviews, at length, present-day Carrey, with a rich, David Letterman-style beard, reflecting on his life and comedy, and Kaufman’s, and how they intersected, in and beyond the movie they made. Carrey is smart about what made Kaufman’s approach to comedy unique, and even insightful about his own comedy approach, and how his Jim Carrey “Dr. Jekyll,” in front of an audience or camera, turns into an improvising, not-caring “Mr. Hyde.” The behind-the-scenes footage from Man on the Moon, in which such co-stars as Danny De Vito, Judd Hirsch and Paul Giamatti react in amazement, and sometimes annoyance, to Carrey’s “living-the-role” approach to Kaufman – and to Kaufman’s occasional, ultra-abrasive alter ego, nightclub “performer” Tony Clifton. It’s all of a piece, and Jim & Andy shows how, in that 1999 movie and beyond, those two dissimilar comic approaches did indeed meet, and meld.
