The Mask (1994)
Country: US
Technical: col 101m
Director: Charles Russell
Cast: Jim Carrey, Peter Riegert, Cameron Diaz
Synopsis:
A mild-mannered bank clerk discovers an antique mask which, when donned, confers on its wearer flamboyantly supernatural powers.
Review:
A bit like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in reverse. This time the star, who is already a special effect, lends himself to cartoonish manipulation while all around him remains live action. It's a fitfully energising spectacle, with occasional homages to Tex Avery that pay off, but the film is more likely to be remembered for introducing the luminous Cameron Diaz, who never again looked so gorgeously manufactured, appropriately enough.
