Visual Art

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2002)

For as difficult as this film may be for some to take in it is a pure work of visual art. The costumes, setting and music depict a time that is mesmerizing. The early '70's glitter rock era must have been quite a scene for those involved with it. I think that Jonathan Rhys-Myers plays Brian Slade to a tee, it's as if the part was made for him. Being a huge fan of Ewan McGregor's since Trainspotting I must admit I was thoroughly impressed with his vocal abilities. I know it is often lame when an actor cuts a record but I honestly think Ewan has the vocal talents to pull it off.
