	Velvet Goldmine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Velvet Goldmine (1998) is a film directed and co-written by Todd Haynes.
		The film tells the story of a popstar based mainly on David Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust' character and is set in Britain during the days of Glam Rock in the early 1970s.
		The film's title may also be intended as an allusion to the name of the band The Velvet Underground.

	Velvet Goldmine
		Velvet Goldmine's "Maxwell Demon" character (Brian Slade's rock alter-ego), mirrors a certain paranoia Bowie made no secret of at this point in his career: the fear that he would be assassinated on stage by crazed fans.
		Velvet Goldmine is a terrific magnifying glass under which to examine the Glam era, thanks to writer/director Todd Haynes.
		Goldmine fast-forwards ten years, and Arthur, a British journalist who actually attended the fateful concert, is called upon to find out whatever became of Slade.

	#4: Velvet Goldmine
		Velvet Goldmine, rather than itself tampering reality, moves to a cultural-historical moment where fantasy and mirage were the informing conditions of a distinct, spectacular public scene: the glam-rock era of 1970s popular music.
		If much of Velvet Goldmine coheres more in mental reflection than in direct visual experience, one may in large part blame the absolutely bewitching visuals imagined by art director Christopher Dobbs and that sorceress of a costume designer Sandy Powell, whose outlandish ensembles arrest the senses and are impossible to resist.
		Velvet Goldmine is not a superficial music video but a smart and compassionate dissection of superficiality, and of the alternating joys and disillusionments experienced by its audience.

	The Ziggy Stardust Companion - Velvet Goldmine - The Movie (1/2)
		Velvet Goldmine, Todd Haynes's screen kiss to glam rock, opens in the childhood of Oscar Wilde (author, wit, queer theory icon, and conscripted godmother of all that is glam).
		An elegantly complex, vision-charged film, Velvet Goldmine captures much of the story that was glam, and brings it to an American audience that largely missed the meteoric movement during its first pass.
		For all its historical matchups, Velvet Goldmine isn't merely the life stories of glam, but the Glamorous life as envisioned by a fanboy dreaming his way in.

	Velvet Goldmine: All That Glitters Isn't Ziggy Stardust (NY Rock Movie Review)
		Velvet Goldmine is to the glam movement what the movie Sid and Nancy was to punk.
		For example, we see an Andy Warhol clone hanging with a pastiche based on David Johansen (of New York Dolls fame) instead of a member of the Velvet Underground, although in real life the Velvets were his protégés and the Dolls were his rivals.
		The promos for Velvet Goldmine tell you to "expect the unexpected" and to a certain extent perhaps you should.

	SPLICEDwire: "Velvet Goldmine" review
		Marrying the narrative structure of what is arguably film's greatest achievement with the life of rock'n'roll's most consummate showman, "Velvet Goldmine" is an ingenious combination of legendary 20th Century pop culture.
		Packed to the rafters with metaphors, "Velvet Goldmine" seems to run out of creative fuel somewhere in the final 20 minutes, falling back on cheap prop symbolism in an unnecessary attempt to stick strictly with the "Citizen Kane" thing.
		"Goldmine" should garner a few Oscar nods for production design and costumes, but its real legacy may be as a midnight movie.

	Velvet Goldmine (1998): Reviews
		There are moments when Velvet Goldmine threatens to collapse under the weight of writer/director Todd Haynes' (Poison, Safe) ambition.
		Velvet Goldmine is no masterpiece, but, at its best, it's a ravishing rock dream.
		Dazzling and dizzying, confusing and even annoying, Velvet Goldmine is a feverish dream of a film, a riot of color and attitude that is all pop decadence, all night long.

	Velvet Goldmine: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Alluding to the structure of "Citizen Kane", the story in Velvet Goldmine stems from the death of its protagonist and follows the reporter (Arthur Stuart, played by Christian Bale) who, in search of information about the protagonist's life, collects the testimonies of those who knew him.
		What is revealed, however, is a very musical and very colorful depiction (literally) of the lifestyle (more so than the life) of the "Messiah of Rock" alongside or apart from those who admired, desired, and sought him.
		The film uses music by Brian Eno, Bryan Ferry, as well as new songs written for the film by musicians who, according to Executive Producer Michael Stipe (writer and lead singer of "REM"), "...were really inspired by glam and the whole era".

	Velvet Goldmine

		Todd Hayne's captures all of this brilliantly in Velvet Goldmine.
		He is ably aided by a cast who give startlingly nuanced performances and though each succeeds in bringing off the poseur hard-edge to their performances each character is afforded opportunity to also reveal a fragility that is the heart of their performance.
		Velvet Goldmine's script is based on notorious scandal monger and slimeball Tony Zanetta's sophomoric and out of print "tell-all" book from his brief time working for MainMan, Bowie's first professional production company.

		Somewhat misleadingly described by many as a mock-biopic based on the life of David Bowie, Velvet Goldmine is so much more than that.
		It will occur to most people who watch "Velvet Goldmine" that it is even more like "Citizen Kane" than "Eddie and the Cruisers," but this 1998 film is not even as good as the second of those two films.
		Velvet Goldmine is a movie on Glam Rock history.

		The seventies glam-rock era passed me by without so much as a glance and after seeing Velvet Goldmine, an audacious compilation of defining images of an era, I still don't get it.
		The fascinating montage work and intense editing by writer and director Todd Haynes is at times mesmerizing and the pace of Velvet Goldmine is breathtaking, but the characters totally fail me emotionally.
		The initial indication that all this unusual behavior may actually stem from Alien influence is positively bizarre.

		Director Todd Haynes's celebration of the sex, drugs, and rock & roll of the British glam era of the early 1970s, Velvet Goldmine, would be nothing without the music that inspired it.
		Strongest are the originals submitted to the film: Shudder to Think tame their own experimental excesses to put forth two glam-worthy originals with "Hot One" and "Ballad of Maxwell Demon", and Pulp deliver "We Are the Boys", which runs amuck with the dramatic stage power of the finest glam.
		The movie VELVET GOLDMINE told the story of made-up rock stars, based in no small part upon the real lives of some of the more notable glam rockers of the late-60s and early-70s.

		I say this so that you should know that because of the film's subject matter, it has one strike against it before I even see it.
		Velvet is an entertaining and stylish celebration of the rock music scene by Todd Haynes (Safe/Poison), that has the right musical feel but offers little else that I found interesting.
		This fictionalized story is a thin disguise for David Bowie's bio, and it is a rip-off of the Citizen Kane way of telling a fictionalized biography.

		Writer-director Todd Haynes has created an original and visually stunning faux documentary charting the rise and fall of a fictional glam-rock star – using David Bowie as a role model.
		Starting out with a reference to the poet Oscar Wilde, Velvet Goldmine is set mostly in Britain at the height of the 1970s Glam Rock era, Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) takes the charts by storm.
		Slade is involved in a unique love triangle; married to an American woman named Mandy (Toni Collette) but having an affair with a rising rock star named Curt Wild (Ewan McGregor), who is so original onstage that he upstages Slade.

	Velvet Goldmine CD
		In the '90s, the '70s nostalgia boom finally kicked in, working its way into fashion, TV, and of course, music and film.
		VELVET GOLDMINE is a sterling example of those last two media, a music-oriented film centered around '70s style and powered by a glam-centric soundtrack that features both the original era's artisans and new worshippers at the '70s altar.
		The pounding piano and art school dandy aura of Roxy Music's "Virginia Plain" is cultural ground zero for VELVET GOLDMINE.
