Velvet Goldmine
1998 · TMDB 6.9
Directed by Todd Haynes
Almost a decade since larger-than-life glam-rock enigma Brian Slade disappeared from public eye, an investigative journalist is on assignment to uncover the truth behind his former idol.
Why it matters
Todd Haynes's glitter-rock fantasia, inspired by the lives of David Bowie and Iggy Pop, follows a journalist investigating the disappearance of a glam rock star, weaving a tale of artistic reinvention and queer desire.
