Can't see what all the fuss is about - I thought this was a complete pile of cack. Whilst I can appreciate JCM's performance, the direction and the music it just didn't knit together for me. Yes and before all you superior beings say I didn't GET IT, I got every feeble message including the split people, Yitzhak being a woman (within a second), wig in a box passed over to Yitzhak, etc. I just found the film dragged and was a total bore. Even watching it on a $70,000 system couldn't save it.
I have 750 DVD's and have never switched one off before the end - this came very close...I hated it.
Velvet Goldmine is far better if you want Glam Rock and Almost Famous blows this away.
