Out via the Neflix folks in limited release today is docu bijou which had been unveiled at Venice before hitting Toronto’s Winter Garden Theatre this past September. Blurring the line between performing, imitating, paying homage to and inhabiting a person’s persona, in his own right, Chris Smith pays homage to three personas in one with Jim & Andy: the Great Beyond – the story of Jim Carrey & Andy Kaufman with a very special, contractually obligated mention of Tony Clifton. A return to the festival for Smith who had brought Collapse in 2008, this was an animated, not too be missed event with Jim Carrey exploring his own self and reminding is that acting can be taxing.
