Not just another glam-rock film (wouldn´t that be enough, anyway?)

Rating: Null/10 (14 June 2002)

Wonderful... For all those who thought all about glam rock had already been said in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Velvet Goldmine", here is a film to prove you wrong. And it is also not just another musical film, or even a musical poured into a film. It´s beautifully displayed (cinematography, art direction...), wonderfully acted, and above it all... it screams out that glam is not dead, and it can still be painted in a sophisticated and outrageous way. It is always a relief to see that the 80´s could not kill it after all (note: throughout the film, David Bowie still proves he has always been a rock ´n roll messiah).
