A masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2003)

With this ambitious project Haynes has created some of the finest rock n roll cinema I've ever seen. While cynics may mock the narratives obvious paralells to the lives of many of the great glam rock stars (bowie, lou reed and iggy pop) we musn't forget the thousands of people who adore this film so obsessively they made it a huge cult sucess. The amazing cast of Eddie Izzard, jonathan rhys-meyers, toni collette, Micko Westmoreland and Ewan mcgregor complete with celebrity cameos by the likes of Brian Molko and Donna Matthews ensure the film sparkles from beginning to end and provides a fun and very flamboyant look at what was a very exciting and decadent time.
