Movie • 1998 • Drama
ReportAlmost 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.

It is mentioned that Curt Wild was assaulted by his older brother and sent to shock therapy, we do not see any sexual scenes between him and his brother on screen.

A lot of homophobic language, unsurprisingly for a movie about the 1970s glam rock scene.

A lot of male characters wear women's clothes (mostly for performing) but it's not a joke and it's treated as serious self-expression.

Extremely tame. Someone is punched and has a bloody nose, someone else gets a bloody lip, and a nongraphic shooting early on.
