Johnny, a young man who aspires to be a rock and roll musician like his idol Ricky Nelson, is looking for opportunity, love, and new shoes. He learns from a pop star named Freak Storm and a woman named Yvonne as he attempts to rise to fame with his retro sensibilities.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
TV Guide Magazine by Ethan Alter
Johnny Suede's stylish, dreamlike mood and abstract dialogue cannot compensate for its unsatisfying storyline and characters.
Johnny Suede is too devoid of content to sustain our interest. [19 Sep 1992]
Los Angeles Times by Michael Wilmington
Johnny Suede has an astonishingly consistent tone and a remarkably talented and cohesive cast. [21 Aug 1992]
Christian Science Monitor by Peter Rainer
The story is too self-conscious about its offbeat qualities, becoming so cool that it practically freezes on the screen.
Rolling Stone by Peter Travers
There's no denying the kick of Pitt's memorably offbeat performance and writer-director Tom DiCillo's stylish debut.
The New York Times by Vincent Canby
A comedy so lazily hip and so laid back that it often seems to be asleep.
