"Scorsese and Johansen team up for 'Personality Crisis' waltz"

Martin Scorsese's latest documentary, "Personality Crisis: One Night Only," debuts on Showtime on Friday. The film captures David Johansen's performance at the Café Carlyle in January 2020, mixing it with flashbacks through Johansen's career and intimate interviews taped during the pandemic. Scorsese, a longtime fan of Johansen, was smitten by his performance and immediately resolved to shoot it. The film is a portrait of a still clarion, still vibrant New York voice in a city that now hardly resembles the one they were all forged in.
