The Mask (1994), directed by Chuck Russell, is a wildly inventive comedy that launched Jim Carrey into superstardom. Based loosely on the Dark Horse comic series, the film follows mild-mannered bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss, whose life transforms when he discovers a mysterious mask that unleashes his inner mischief-maker. Co-starring Cameron Diaz in her breakout role, the film blends slapstick, romance, and cartoon-inspired chaos with groundbreaking early CGI effects.
A perfect fusion of 1940s Tex Avery energy and 1990s visual innovation, The Mask remains one of the decade’s most iconic comedy blockbusters.
