SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its self-aware, episodic retelling of Manchester's music scene shares Velvet Goldmine's playful approach to celebrity legend, subculture and the messy alchemy of artistic reinvention.
02
Why this pick
David Bowie's alien glamour and Roeg's coolly fragmented, sensuous imagery make this a strong match for Velvet Goldmine's beautiful estrangement and decadent-art-star aura.
03
Why this pick
A restless artist confronted by admirers, memories and competing versions of himself gives this black-and-white fantasia a similarly bittersweet interest in fame as performance.
04
Why this pick
Less decadent but equally dreamy, this music-infused, self-reflexive journey combines urban romanticism, analog texture and an affectionate sense of art being made in real time.
05
Why this pick
For Velvet Goldmine's knowing side, this sharp mock-rockumentary understands how interviews, personas and mythology can turn musicians into larger-than-life fiction.

01 / THE STORY
Set in 1984, British journalist Arthur Stuart is writing an article about the withdrawal from public life of 1970s glam rock star Brian Slade, and is interviewing those who had a part in the entertainer's career. As each person recalls their thoughts, it becomes the introduction of the vignette for that particular segment in Slade's personal and professional life.
