Chop Suey

Between Stigma and Enigma | LondonThe 1st Fashion in Film Festival | MoMI
Written By Fashion In Film
USA, 2001. Director Bruce Weber. 98min.

Chop Suey (2001) takes us on an intense personal odyssey – an obsessive journey, seen through the eyes of one of the world’s most famous fashion image-makers. Weber’s look at fashion and photography is unpredictable, startling and exciting. Part self-portrait, part documentary, the film is based on his discovery of a young male model. As a whole, it offers an autobiographical and self-reflexive mix covering Weber’s key themes: photography, filmmaking and collecting.

With Peter Johnson and Frances Faye.
