Thank You Very Much

Life is a beautiful and confusing performance.

Andy Kaufman‘s provocative comedy often outraged audiences, challenging them to confront their own presumptions. Through never-before-seen footage and intimate recollections, filmmaker Alex Braverman explores Kaufman’s brief but impactful life and career. As the lines between performance and reality blur in our present age, Kaufman’s genius resonates more than ever.

“Arguably the most transparent portrait of the comedian while still trying to perpetuate some of his mystery.” (The Playlist)

“The film largely focuses on Kaufman’s professional achievements… But the film’s most noteworthy moments come on the rare occasions when it probes his psyche.” (IndieWire)

“… by demystifying Kaufman, the more of a mystery his career becomes as he tested the limits of what the public would tolerate and still stick with him, becoming as much a film about us as much as him.” (Movable Fest)
