The rise of a star… The fall of a legend!
1971: Glamrock explodes all over the world and challenges the seriousness within the flower power generation by means of glitter and brutal music. Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), a young rock star, inspires numerous teenage boys and girls to paint their nails and explore their own sexuality. The enigmatic Slade was heavily influenced in his early years by hard-living and rebellious American singer Curt Wild (Ewan McGregor). In the end Slade destroys himself. Unable to escape the role he created for himself, he plots his own murder. When his fans discover that the murder is not real, his star falls and he is forgotten about.
1984: Arthur Stuart (Christian Bale), a journalist working for a New York newspaper, gets assigned the story about the fake murder of Brian Slade. When Arthur was young and growing 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.
Velvet Goldmine brilliantly re-imagines the glam rock 70s as a brave new world of electrifying theatricality and sexual possibility, to the point where identifying precise figures in this neo-psychedelic landscape is almost beside the point. It tells a story the way operas do: blazing with exquisite yet abstract passions, and with quite a lot to look at on the side. Director Todd Haynes creates his film with a masturbatory fervour that demands dead-on details and fashions a structure out of Citizen Kane; it’s a film that works best as a feast of sight and sound. Re-creating an era as a gorgeous carnal dream. Celebrating the art of the possible.
