Velvet Goldmine (1998) - androgynous decadence......................................................... previous / next

Velvet Goldmine 1971: Glamrock explodes all over the world and challanges the seriousness within the flowerpower generation by means of glitter and brutal music. Brian Slade, a young rockstar, inspires numerous teenage boys and girls to paint their nails and explore their own sexuality. In the end, Slade destroys himself. Unable to escape the role he created for himself, he plots his own murder. When his fans discovers that the murder is a fake, his star falls and he is forgotten. 1984: Arthur, a journalist working for a New York newspaper, gets assigned the story about the fake murder of Brian Slade. When Arthur was young and grew up in Manchester, he was more than a fan of Slade. Reluctantly he accepts the assignment and starts to investigate what happened to his old glamrock hero.

To fabricate his own murder for publicity is absurd. However, the way they filmed this movie is fascinating with a touch of European decadence and Citizen Kaneish narrative technique. Brian Slade is peculiar, androgynous and so realistic that you want to believe as if he had truly existed in 70s for real. David Bowie would probably be the closest embodiment of the phantom character................... Velvet Goldmine DVD
