| User ReviewJ DIt's not often that a documentary will inspire a sequel, but Dominic DeJoseph's film JOHNNY BERLIN did, largely as a result of the enthusiasm of the Documentary Channel audience who demanded a follow-up. In Part 1 (titled simply, JOHNNY BERLIN), we last left Johnny, a train porter with dreams of writing the great American novel, as he was headed to Southeast Asia in search of deeper truths. Part 2 picks up after his trip into destitution standing on a bridge over the Mekong River, contemplating everything from jumping off the bridge to his relationship to his Mormon father who wouldn't send him the money for a plane ticket home. Although at times Johnny's head trip turns to the darker aspects of life, his off-beat sense of humor lands him on his feet every time, and the viewer along with him. This is a hilarious exploration of one man's inner life, and a worthy follow-up, often deeper and funnier than the first film. :p |
