“Velvet Goldmine” is a wild, glitter-laced trip through the 1970s era of Glam rock. Fictional characters Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) and Curt Wild (Ewan McGregor) are personifications of Glam rock’s ideals, with the mysterious and androgynous Slade balanced by the intense, raucous Wild. When Slade disappears, the era itself seems to melt away, swallowed up by the slick 1980s. But Slade’s story, and the story of Glam rock, is retold when journalist Arthur Stuart (Christian Bale) is assigned to discover what really happened to Slade. Through his own memories of this time, Arthur faces his childhood fears and fantasies. With a nod to Oscar Wilde, a “Citizen Kane” like structure, and an overall sumptuous atmosphere, “Velvet Goldmine” is director Todd Haynes’s unique look at homosexuality, indulgence, and, most importantly, rock & roll. It is a visually stunning, incredibly tasty piece of slash fanfiction. But instead of Kirk & Spock or Mulder & Krycek, it’s a lot like David Bowie & Iggy Pop.
Starring Ewan McGregor – Toni Collette – Christian Bale – Eddie Izzard – Emily Woof – Jonathan Rhys Meyers – Michael Feast, and Directed by Todd Haynes, this film will last with you long after the ending, your eyes blinking as you adjust to a rather grey drab world. The movie isn’t about substance, it’s about style; about creating and rearranging yourself to fit the time, to fit the world around you. It’s about fluidity, fluidity of gender, personality, ideas, and romance. Because, like all Slash fanfiction, above everything else, it’s a love story.
