Cant say it's not visual. . .

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 1999)

But that doesn't make it a great movie(e.g. 2001). The performances were great especially McGregor(who's pretty much good in everything)as an obvious play on Iggy Pop, and Izzard as a cross between the business savvy of Brian Epstein and the exploitation skills of Malcom McClaran. Meyers however as the Bowie-ish Brian Slade is far too distant a character to get really interested in. Great soundtrack however, Oscar nominated costumes, and a good sense of overall style keep things interesting if not completley fresh.
