About This Movie

Personality Crisis: One Night Only offers a fascinating glimpse into David Johansen’s world. It’s not your typical documentary; this one’s got a rhythm, a live energy that’s palpable. Johansen’s performance as Buster Poindexter at Café Carlyle is a real highlight, blending nostalgia with fresh takes on his classic songs. The pacing alternates between the live show and interviews that feel more like conversations than scripted moments. You get a real sense of Johansen’s journey as an artist, the ups and downs, the reinventions. Archival footage adds texture, grounding the present in the past. It’s a blend of music and personal storytelling that feels intimate yet expansive.

Great for fans of David Johansen and Buster Poindexter.Interesting blend of live performance and personal narrative.Solid archival footage enhances the storytelling.
