5.0 out of 5 stars A Road Trip Through the Center of your Psyche-Clone, April 24, 2009

This review is from: Johnny Berlin (DVD)

I found "Johnny Berlin" linked on Francis Ford Coppola's Web site (zoetrope.com) as one of his "Zoetrouper films on DVD." So, I am in pretty good company when I say that this film by Dominic J. DeJoseph is poignant, entertaining, witty, and well worth watching. DeJoseph is a masterful filmmaker and he selects his subjects with an eye towards the unique and unusual. Paradoxically, these qualities are often to be found in the commonest of people and situations. "Johnny Berlin" is no exception. Watching this film for me was like opening a super-fresh bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups at Halloween and digging in: once I began to indulge, I couldn't stop; the scenes were that good. I could relate to this porter, this Johnny Berlin, and his road trip through scenery and psyche. Is he Everyman? If so, maybe Everyman is weirder than we think. Watch the film. If you do, I imagine you will begin to know Johnny Berlin. And your soul will be that much semi-happier for the experience.

This review is from: Johnny Berlin (DVD)

You may end up crying-laughing, but is there any shame in that? This is one of the greatest character-portrait documentaries ever made, and it's also one of the funniest!

5.0 out of 5 stars Take a great train ride!, March 28, 2007

This review is from: Johnny Berlin (DVD)

I viewed "Johnny Berlin" several times and each time it was just as enjoyable as the first. If you love trains, you will especially enjoy this film. The director takes you aboard a beautiful 1930's mahogany-interior Pullman-car train as if you just purchased a ticket for this great trip. The intriguing conversation with the porter, Johnny Berlin, who has the ability to mesmerize you with his genuine on-going conversation and stories, will make you laugh, cry and utterly astound you. You have to see it to believe it. One person inhabits most of this film, Johnny Berlin. You will be captivated as you watch this film. You will feel as if you are actually riding this great train to its destination. This film is an unusual and brilliant work of art.
