Dir: Tom DiCillo
With Brad Pitt, Catherine Keener, Samuel L. Jackson, Nick Cave.
Johnny Suede marks the 1991 directorial debut of writer-director Tom DiCillo, starring a young Brad Pitt alongside Catherine Keener, Samuel L. Jackson, and Nick Cave.
Pitt plays the title character – a broke, naive musician who wears an absurdly large pompadour. He is completely detached from reality and obsessed with becoming a 1950s-style rock star like his idol, Ricky Nelson. He has the look down perfectly – except for the elusive black suede shoes. His luck changes when a pair literally drops from the sky, completing his persona and leading him straight into a romance with Darlette, a sultry bohemian. Despite her volatile, gun-wielding boyfriend, Johnny falls hard. But when financial desperation forces him to pawn his guitar, Darlette vanishes. Helped by his buddy Deke, Johnny gets his guitar back and starts a band, but he remains heartbroken. For a while.
