The Fantasia International Film Festival is back for its 27th annual edition, running July 20 through August 9, and it’s bringing one of Hollywood’s biggest stars––in spirit now; he’s officially canceled so as to not cross the picket line of the current SAG-AFTRA strike––to Montreal with a world premiere and career recognition. Nicolas Cage, his new film Sympathy for the Devil, and his Cheval Noir Career Achievement Award aren’t the only draw for this three-week event, though.

It was just this week when the trailer for the new 4K restoration of Raging Bull dropped that we were wondering when Showtime would finally date Martin Scorsese’s first new feature of the year, Personality Crisis: One Night Only. Ask, and you shall receive. The intimate concert documentary featuring New York Dolls frontman David Johansen, co-directed with David Tedeschi, will premiere on Showtime on April 14. Ahead of the release of the film––which captures a cabaret performance filmed in January 2020 at New York City’s storied Café Carlyle and premiered at the 60th New York Film Festival––the first trailer and poster have arrived.
Michael Frank said in his NYFF review, “Now, some 50 years later, Johansen is still performing. Scorsese and Tedeschi allow him the space to sing full songs. It’s not a concert doc, but becomes one; Johansen’s set often goes uninterrupted for 5-7 minutes at a time.
