I Love this Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (22 April 2003)

This film about the rise and fall of a fictional rock star Brian Slade is probably the best fictious rock star movie ever written and made for the big screen.And the soundtrack is amazing! Kudos to the great British actor Johnathan Rhys-Meyers as the main man himself Brian Slade.He lypsinks very well to the songs and is another of a long line of great British actors. This is not a film for homophobes as their is an intense triangle romance beteween Ewan McGregor (who is so f'n cool as Curt Wild),Mr Meyers and actress Toni Collette. And there is a lot of boy on boy kissing and frolicking about. This film definatley captures the spirit and naughty sexual androygony of the early 70's glam-glitter rock era with the character of Brian Slade showing shades of David Bowie,Bryan Ferry,and the NY Dolls and the character of Curt Wild is so loosely based on Iggy Pop that i'm surprised his first name wasn't Iggy. Great soundtrack and and great film.Way to go Todd Haynes! ***** out of *****
