A man begins to notice that the pleasant world built around him is not quite his own. The Truman Show was released in 1998.
It remains a brilliant, unsettling crowd-pleaser about performance, comfort and the right to an unobserved life.
What makes The Truman Show a strong choice tonight is not simply the premise, but the way it gives that premise room to gather force. It rewards an uninterrupted watch, when its tone and rhythm can do their work.
Choose it when you want a film with a clear point of view rather than something to half-watch. Save it now, then come back to PLOT with the scene, performance or feeling that stays with you.
