THE TRUMAN SHOW (PG) Presented on 35mm

The Truman Show at Revival House Perth

Enter Peter Weir's prophetic and deeply moving 1998 masterpiece that anticipated our reality TV obsessed world with chilling accuracy. Truman Burbank has lived his entire life in the idyllic seaside town of Seahaven, unaware that his every moment is being broadcast to millions as the world's most popular television show.

Jim Carrey delivers his finest dramatic performance as Truman, gradually awakening to the artificial nature of his existence with both heartbreaking vulnerability and quiet determination. Ed Harris commands the screen as Christof, the show's megalomaniacal creator who genuinely believes he's protecting Truman while exploiting his life for entertainment.

Weir's brilliant direction creates a world that's simultaneously perfect and deeply unsettling, where every sunrise is scheduled and every relationship is performed. The film's exploration of media manipulation, the loss of privacy, and the search for authentic human connection feels more relevant today than ever before.

Laura Linney and Noah Emmerich provide pitch-perfect performances as the actors playing Truman's wife and best friend, their manufactured affection hiding the show's dark machinery. The film's technical achievements create a television studio so vast it's visible from space, yet intimate enough to capture one man's quiet rebellion against his predetermined fate.

Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
