Dick Johnson is Dead

Kirsten Johnson | U.S.A. | 2020 | M

About halfway through Dick Johnson is Dead, Kirsten Johnson’s father asks her why she chose to make documentaries rather than pursue the ‘lucrative’ side of the business in Hollywood. Without missing a beat, she replies “real life is often much more fascinating than what you can make up”.

Universally praised following its 2020 Sundance Film Festival Premiere, this humane and utterly original film confirms Kirsten Johnson as one of contemporary cinema’s most essential voices.
