All that GLAM!

Rating: 8/10 (22 June 1999)

In the song "Changes", David Bowie sings "Turn and face the strange...". Well, I got to admit, this movie does make you face the strange. This is one of the best movies I ever saw in my life. It's artistic, graphic, and very creative in so many ways. It was confusing one point to another, and can be hard to catch up with if you lose track of the movie (which I did at a few points) or don't know what it is about. What I love the most about the movie is the artistic stride of the fashions, the music, and glam rock icons themselves such as Brian Slade, Curt Wild, just to name a few. To be honest, Brian Slade didn't really make me think of David Bowie's famous character, Ziggy Stardust, but Mandy Slade did remind me very much about David's ex-wife, Angela "Angie" Bowie. Toni played an excellent Angie-like Mandy Slade, and Jonathan did a splendid job as the strange, but wonderful Bowie-like Brian Slade. I give credit to all the actors as a matter of fact! :o)
I highly do recommend this movie, but just one thing you should know: The sex scenes in this film are very, very extreme, so don't watch this movie around children or anyone who doesn't like watching sex scenes in movies.
