Before Brad Pitt was a star he was Johnny Suede, the title character of indie writer-director Tom DiCillo's (Living in Oblivion) directorial debut. More than 15 years after its original release, the film has been newly released on DVD by Anchor Bay. As a new audience discovers this hidden gem, DiCillo recounts the highs and lows of the making of the movie—and the frustration of having the film taken away from him and reedited. Lucky for him—and audiences everywhere—this DVD is a director's cut.
