Story
In 'Velvet Goldmine', an investigative journalist, tasked with uncovering the truth about the mysterious disappearance of glam-rock icon Brian Slade a decade ago, embarks on a journey to unravel the enigmatic musician's past and influence.
Summary
'Velvet Goldmine', directed by Todd Haynes in 1998, is a fictionalized musical biopic set against the backdrop of the glam rock era in Britain during the late 1970s. The film explores themes of fame, sexuality, and reinvention through the lens of its titular character, Brian Slade, whose story mirrors that of David Bowie. However, unlike Bowie's tale, Velvet Goldmine weaves a narrative that is more fantastical and less biographical.
