Review of Velvet Goldmine (1998) by Matthew S — 24 May 2015
The critics failed to grasp the magic contained in Todd Hayne's passionate ode to the era of Glam Rock. It is all a very veiled interpretation -- or possibly fantasy of that glitter rock era that was so fueled by erotic teasing from the likes of David Bowie and Iggy Pop.
Haynes applies an truly mythic sic-fi spin on of rock's most creative / experimental eras. The performances of the cast match the neon and trip-like excessive pitch of the movie. Visually and aurally stunning, Velvet Goldmine explodes with imagination and desire.
Completely unique and a nostalgic rebel yell of a movie.
