CHOP SUEY
U.S., 2001
Directed by Bruce Weber
With Jan-Michael Vincent, Peter Johnson, Frances Faye
Approx. 98 min. 35mm.
Like its namesake, a mélange: chats with Weber’s 4-year photographic subject Peter Johnson; reminiscence of iconic chanteuse Frances Faye; a Doctor John/Robert Mitchum (!) recording session; and a 65-song soundtrack.
Reviews
“A beautiful film of bits and pieces from the life and work of Bruce Weber set to music from Chopin to Cole Porter.”
– Time Out
“Moves easily between video and film and between black-and-white and color as Mr. Weber explores the world around him, a world that he finds full of beauty.”
– Dave Kehr, The New York Times
