Not sure what Weber was trying to say with this feature, but it certainly caught my eye as creative, beautifully interesting and erotic. One of the most fasinating sections is model Chris D'Aprix with an elephant on the beach. Weber uses model Peter Johnson as the eyes to look at people who have moved Weber over his life. From cabaret singer Frances Faye, Robert Mitchum and Jan-Michael Vincent. 'Chop Suey' is not merely just a collection of men romping naked in nature, it is more a look behind the lense at Weber the man. Last year, Weber's film 'Chop Suey' was rereleased on DVD. Upon further research I discovered his books such as Bear Pond Models (Where we were introduced to the young Nies Brothers) and The Chop Suey Club (Where we met Weber's early muse Peter Johnson). I remember Bruce, and particularly his work with Abercrombie and Fitch was all over. ![]() One of the first artists I saw on line was Bruce Weber. ![]() Growing up in a rural community, my local bookstore's most gay related material was Mens exercise magazines. When I first got on-line in the late 90's I was introduced so much gay culture I never knew existed. When Chop Suey premiered at last years Miami Film Festival, not everyone was ready to join in the congratulatory backslapping that unfolded in the Gusman. I have talked before about artists I would never have heard of if not for the internet. Weber's sheer rapture at physical beauty is overwhelmingly sincere, but nothing of much depth is revealed about anyone, and the parade of erstwhile personalities comes across as so much necrophilia, especially when it comes to the subject of gay supper-club singer Frances Faye, a minor figure on the subject of whom Weber is a monumental bore.Could think of no better post than this one from last June on the 'water' themed day. ![]() Johnson - a married man with a daughter - is not asked for his opinion on being a gay icon, and is treated as a brainless beefcake throughout, rightly or wrongly. Thats a Larry Clark book.-Oh.-I just love the black and white, how rich it is. The premise of the film is that Weber creates a vast, campy portfolio of Johnson dressed up in various guises, and then takes him on a tour of his own portfolio of star interviews and photos, without really illuminating anything or anyone. cookbook called 'Chop Suey.' I cant even fry an egg and I never read cookbooks, but I thought 'Chop Suey' was a crazy enough name for a camera club dedicated to making a photo album of a kid from Wisconsin.-I could use that. It manages to say a little, but not nearly enough, about himself, about the aesthetics of photography, about the handsome young wrestler and homoerotic icon Peter Johnson, with whom Weber is currently preoccupied, and about all the other characters that Weber has photographed, including Robert Mitchum, Diana Freeland and Wilfred Thesiger. L ike Churchill's themeless pudding, this gregarious autobiographical feature from photographer and film-maker Bruce Weber (who made the Chet Baker biopic Let's Get Lost) is lacking in focus.
