1h 59m
Directed by Todd Haynes • 1998 • United Kingdom, United States
Starring Ewan McGregor, Toni Collette, Christian Bale
A CITIZEN KANE for the glittering, hedonistic glam-rock explosion, Todd Haynes’s deliriously flamboyant third feature follows journalist Arthur Stuart (Christian Bale) as he launches an investigation into the mystery of Bowie-esque rocker Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), who disappeared after faking his own death onstage. As he pieces together the puzzle of Slade’s chameleonic life through interviews with those closest to him, a kaleidoscopic portrait of an era of unbridled excess and gender-bending sexual libertinism emerges, buoyed by a soundtrack that rocks Brian Eno, T. Rex, Lou Reed, Pulp, and more.
