simply gorgeous, darling

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2002)

This is the most amazing, beautiful film I have ever seen. And I'm a film student--all I do is watch movies. This movie is visually daring, with fascinating characters and amazing acting. If you allow it to, it can transport you to a different world, where glitter makeup and glam rock rule. I first saw this movie in 1998, not long after it came out. After that first viewing, I knew I had seen something amazing, but it was all too much information to process at once. I decided I had to see it again, but it wasn't until this summer (2002) that I finally gave it the attention it deserves. I watched it in amazement, for it is truly phenomenal. It is a gorgeous film, one that demands to be watched over and over, and one that I know will inform and inspire my work for years to come.
