Title: EXCELLENT MUSIC AND 70'S KITSCH
Review: Don't expect a fully comprehensible plot, or that you're going to become well-acquainted with the characters, who stay as ambiguous as their respective sexualities. What you will get is an amazingly alluring portrait of glam-era London and some great music (any movie that kicks off with Eno's great "Needles in the Camel's Eye" deserves special praise). Ewan MacGregor is smashing as the Kurt Cobain-Iggy Pop hybrid Curt Wild. MacGregor and Christian Bale have a sex scene, imagine that! "Velvet Goldmine" is shallow, but nevertheless great fun.
