On 19 November, The Amazing Johnathan Documentary will be playing in cinemas nationwide for a one-night-only preview + satellite Q&A with documentarian Louis Theroux and director Ben Berman. Tickets are already on sale and flying off the metaphorical stands!
The documentary follows Ben as he delves into the life of the ‘Amazing Johnathan’ - an illusionist who, having enjoyed great success in the 80s and 90s, is now launching a comeback tour provoked by a recently-diagnosed terminal heart condition. Johnathan, ever the illusionist, proves to be just that, and what follows is a ‘gripping goose chase of a film’ and intriguing pas de deux between filmmaker and subject.
The Q&A between Louis Theroux and Ben Berman accompanying screenings, is bound to be an incisive and blackly entertaining look into the unpredictable nature of documentary filmmaking, so don’t miss your chance to see it along with the film on the 19th November.
