Plot Summary
For over four years Bruce Weber photographed one subject: Peter Johnson. What began as a photographic journey to document Peter's transition from boyhood into manhood led to the making of the film Chop Suey. A deeply personal film, feeling very much like a film journal or a scrapbook, Chop Suey is homage to all things the filmmaker loves most. Mixing film, archival footage, still photography and a rich and expansive soundtrack boasting over 65 songs, Chop Suey is the third film in the trilogy, which begins with Backyard Movie.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Though undoubtedly a vanity project -- the music clearances alone must have cost much more than the film could ever hope to gross -- it functions pleasantly enough as an exercise in free association.
Fresh: The most personal and accomplished of the several documentaries Weber has made over the years.
Fresh: A film of extraordinary beauty and singular vision.
Rotten: Time and again ... words fail Weber. He's a loquacious but unilluminating host.
