What they share

Both films are directed by Miloš Forman, and they both carry the cozy, devastating mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Man on the Moon is

New York City, a nightclub stage, a single spotlight. A wrestling match, a pranking call, the line between reality and act blurs. Forman brings Kaufman's eccentricity to life.
