Disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2008)

This film is about the rise and fall of a glamorous rock star back in 1970's in Britain.
I was not interested in the music, and I watched the film only because of the numerous big stars. So, I saw the stars I wanted to see, and that was it.
The Oscar Wilde references is quite a mystery to me. Apart from referencing his homosexuality, what else is there? It seems contrived to have such a reference.The relationship between Brian Slade and Curt Wild is very confusing and hard to follow, as they both seem attracted and yet ambivalent to each other. Christian bale's character as a journalist is simply redundant, and he could have been written out altogether. This would have been better because that would make the story linear, and hence easier to understand.
