Dizzy Tizzy - All That Glitters Is Not Gold

Rating: Null/10 (25 October 2016)

The premise of this movie reads better than the final visual outcome. Cultists will love it (they can excuse almost anything) but the end result tells us more about the film-maker than it does the Glam/Glitter rock era. From a very interesting opening (if a bit odd) and a couple of well staged scenes - it rapidly sinks into a sludge. Overloaded with repugnant themes and characters - it's not surprising so many from this era did not make it past age 40 (if they were so lucky), it sits well as an illustration of the walking dead - join them at your own peril.
I can fully appreciate why David Bowie disliked the script so much - in fact, so much that he would not let any of his original tracks be used within this grotesque production. The best song is kept for the end " Make Me Smile" by Steve Harley but, this is only played over the end credits and, the end credits come one and a half hours too late...If you know how to value your head space then for Gods sake, keep this slosh well away from it!
