Johnny Suede

USA 1991, 97 minutes
Dir. Tom DiCillo
Genres: Cult / Independent

Aroview: Brad Pitt is priceless as a naive, super-quiffed romantic who dreams of basking in the limelight of rock idoldom. This small gem underscores its dead-pan, self-consciously cool veneer with intelligence, humour and pathos. Watch out for an extended cameo by Nick Cave.

4 stars (Very Good) Johnny models himself on 50's pop-idol Ricky Nelson, and when a pair of suede shoes literally land on his head one night he adopts the surname Suede and dreams of stardom in a rock'n'roll band. A stylish, very funny, off-beat 90's romance. ~GenXGirl
