Movie Description
Brad Pitt plays Johnny Suede, an ultra-cool Brooklyn rocker with a sweet and naive disposition and a healthy ego. And he always has a good hair day. Writer/director Tom DiCillo (THE REAL BLONDE, LIVING IN OBLIVION) tells the tale of a boyish wanna be rocker who wears cool suede and a ceiling busting pompadour to get his attitude in gear. One of Brad Pitt's earlier movie acting roles.
Synopsis
With his hair in a pompadour and sporting his trademark suede shoes, Johnny Suede dreams of becoming a pop star like his idol Ricky Nelson. Oblivious to his surroundings and his life as a house painter in Brooklyn, Johnny inhabits a fantasy world all his own. Then he meets a woman who could help him get a record deal, but heartbreak soon follows. It takes a more down-to-earth schoolteacher to bring him back to reality.
Industry Reviews

"...Charmingly offbeat....JOHNNY SUEDE has an astonishingly consistent tone and a remarkably talented and cohesive cast..."
Los Angeles Times - Michael Wilmington (08/21/1992)
"It has a look as lovely as light in limbo and a mood like melancholy music."
Uncut - Chris Roberts (10/01/2005)
"Pitt offers one of his most pleasing performances, striking the right balance between vanity and vulnerability."
