Velvet Goldmine (1998)

A decade after British glam rocker Jonathan Rhys Meyers withdrew from the spotlight, journalist Christian Bale accepts an assignment to write about the singer’s career and disappearance. Offering some gorgeous visuals, the non-linear, meandering story did little to hold my attention. Beyond the music and costumes that give an authentic 1970s glam rock feel, the most interesting parts involved the interactions of the three leads, which includes Ewan McGregor as an American musician, as their lives intertwine directly and indirectly over the years.
