Andy Kaufman Is Me
Spotlight Documentary
Feature | United States | 101 MINUTES | English | English subtitlesNew York, Comedy, Biography
This revealing documentary offers unprecedented access to the private world of comedy's most enigmatic provocateur, Andy Kaufman, through a treasure trove of never-before-heard audio recordings. Created during the height of his fame, these audio diaries serve as personal journals, capturing Kaufman's inner thoughts, performance ideas and reflections on his unfinished semi-autobiographical book, "The Huey Williams Story." While Kaufman never completed this surrealist work before his untimely death, director Clay Tweel brings these pages to life with imaginative marionette puppetry, creating a mesmerizing glimpse into Kaufman's creative process.
Featuring intimate interviews with family members Michael and Carol Kaufman, along with close friends and collaborators including David Letterman, Carol Kane and Tim Heidecker, the film peels away the layers of performance to reveal the thoughtful, complex man behind the provocative public persona. By embracing Kaufman's own philosophical view that no one is a monolith, this captivating documentary presents a nuanced portrait of the artist while challenging audiences to reconsider what they thought they knew about this boundary-pushing entertainer's life, art and legacy.—Jarod Neece
