Velvet Goldmine - 1998 - 7/10
Rousing film about glam superstar, based loosely (ha!) on David Bowie and Iggy Pop, steeped in the blood of Oscar Wilde.
Rise of folkie into feathered rocker, peaking into Ziggy Stardust character, before disappearing.
Powerful cast with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Ewan MacGregor, and a young Christian Bale.
Terrific soundtrack, too, as young reporter, searching for vanished rocker, stumbles into rooms of glitz and glitter.
And who the hell is Jack Fairy?
