1998 Directed by Todd Haynes
Almost a decade has elapsed since Bowiesque glam-rock superstar Brian Slade escaped the spotlight of the London scene. Now, investigative journalist Arthur Stuart is on assignment to uncover the truth behind the enigmatic Slade. Stuart, himself forged by the music of the 1970s, explores the larger-than-life stars who were once his idols and what has become of them since the turn of the new decade.

what’s your favorite newspaper headline in this? i think mine is “camp isn’t just a row of tents”
i was gonna laugh at christian bale’s english accent and then i remembered that it’s real
ewan mcgregor out there representing every depressed gay who wishes they could just writhe around on the floor and scream into a microphone for a while
this film is not just a film, it’s a love letter to queerness that presents itself in spectacular fashion
just thinking about that upcoming david bowie biopic and how it probably won't have glitter-drenched men quoting oscar wilde to each other and kissing. and it's like, what's the point, really?
the director said curt wild but ewan mcgregor heard cunt wild because he served cunt so hard i thought he was gonna give himself a hernia
it’s actually considered homophobic to rate this any lower than 4.5 stars so i’m keeping an eye on all of you that didn’t appreciate this film for what it is, i.e. a cinematic masterpiece
