After catching the musician's act, the director saw a 'poignancy to it, and a beauty.” He was inspired to make “Personality Crisis: One Night Only,” a performance film as ode to a lifetime of rock iconoclasm.
“Music has always been an inspiration for me, for making my own films,” Martin Scorsese says of making “Personality Crisis: One Night Only” with musician David Johansen.
Martin Scorsese had long been a fan of David Johansen’s shape-shifting, genre-defying music career, going back to the fellow New Yorker’s punk-igniting New York Dolls days. But when he caught the singer’s Café Carlyle act in early 2020, a cabaret retrospective reinterpreted through Buster Poindexter, Johansen’s pompadoured crooner persona, Scorsese — who’s filmed the Rolling Stones and made documentaries on Bob Dylan and George Harrison — knew he had his next music film subject.
“It had a poignancy to it, and a beauty,” the director said recently, sitting alongside Johansen as the pair talked about “Personality Crisis: One Night Only,” a performance film as ode to a lifetime of rock iconoclasm.Martin, your music documentaries always feel like the ultimate art appreciation projects.Music has always been an inspiration for me, for making my own films. They even suggest the narrative and the visual interpretation of the narrative.
David Johansen — sometimes known as Buster Poindexter — is the subject of “Personality Crisis: One Night Only.”David, it’s no mean trick to collect a lifetime of songs. What does music world survival mean to you?I just do what the spirit moves me to do, you know? I’m kind of a niche person. Some people would be like, “Oh, I want to make all this money,” but I never really got into that. I find that I don’t have to appeal to a huge audience. So cabaret is a good setting.
My wife, Mara, had a lot to do with this. I didn’t know what was going on, and I didn’t want to know. [Scorsese laughs.] Because if I started putting my two cents in, I’d f— it up. You know, the difference between the way you see yourself and the way someone else sees you?
