THE TRUMAN SHOW
The same day every day. Until small cracks in the perfectly orchestrated world of Truman Burbank become visible. Why does everyone around him always seem to know exactly what he is going to do? Why do people suddenly disappear from his life? And why does it seem like the whole world is watching him?
The Truman Show is a visionary film that was far ahead of its time and is now, in an age of reality TV and social media, more relevant than ever. Director Peter Weir and screenwriter Andrew Niccol sketch an oppressive portrait of control, free will and the search for truth, with a layered, memorable role by Jim Carrey.
Before the screening, we will delve into the themes that make The Truman Show a real Game Changer with a masterclass by Twan Arts.
