Chop Suey

0 Reviews

The dreamlike documentaries of Bruce Weber are as alluring and gorgeously composed as his famous fashion photographs. Though Weber’s charming 2001 film explores a potpourri of his personal obsessions, it's the film’s most fascinating section, devoted to the amazing lesbian jazz singer Frances Faye which makes Weber’s film a must-see.

synopsis

For over four years Bruce Weber photographed one subject: Peter Johson. What began as a photographic journey to document Peter's transition from boyhood into manhood led to the making of the film CHOP SUEY. A deeply personal film, feeling very much like a film journal or a scrapbook, CHOP SUEY is an homage to all things the filmmaker loves most. Mixing film, archival footage, still photography, and a rich and expansive soundtrack boasting over 65 songs, CHOP SUEY is the third film in the trilogy.
