Bowie & Pop characters- Not based on them though

Rating: Null/10 (16 November 1998)

This movie clearly shows the mood and superficiality of the Glam Rock era. It's dreamy and fantasy-like in many ways-- yet that's what Glam rock wanted to be. The characters that portray the stage personalities of David Bowie and Iggy Pop have to be understood that this persona is used for the characters in the movie- not that it tells the actual lives of Bowie and Pop. I think it was a good film although it seemed lengthy and drawn out. The Oscar Wilde concept was far fetched though and I felt was not needed but maybe it was just another fantasy and dream that Glam rock wanted to feel significant and had a meaning of reality and ...arty.(?)
