'a stylish exercise in cool' Premiere
This stylish, award-winning debut from writer–director Tom DiCillo (Living in Oblivion) is one of the coolest comedies of the 90’s, achieving instant cult status on its release.
Brad Pitt is Johnny Suede, an innocent dreamer with plenty of attitude desperate for a singing career like his idol Ricky Nelson. But Johnny’s fantasy soon begins to crumble as he learns the harsh realities of life from arrogant rock star Freak Storm (a hilarious cameo from Nick Cave) and Yvonne, a down-to earth teacher who opens his eyes to a world beyond his gravity-defying quiff and cherished black suede shoes.
