Velvet Goldmine

Out of all the Christian Bale movies I've seen (and I've seen 99% of them), this one is the craziest and is definitely my favorite.

Combine:
1 coked up/naked Ewan MacGregor
1 rhinestone encrusted Jonathan Rhys-Meyers
1 masturbating, makeup wearing, Ewan MacGregor fucking, Christian Bale
add a pinch of screaming teenagers
small doses of Toni Collette and Eddie Izzard

You've got a glam rock powerhouse called Velvet Goldmine!!!




It's full of sex, drugs and glam rock from the 1970s. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is a sex kitten who takes on the world full force. His career as Brian Slade skyrockets so high that he burns out and disappears from view. Christian Bale plays a reporter who is asked to dig into Slade's past and find out what happened to him. Only Christian Bale knows that he has some intimate memories of Brian Slade and his group of followers. The movie includes vague references to Oscar Wilde that are never fully explained. If you enjoy an acid trip covered in glitter and jewels, this is the movie for you.
