      VELVET Goldmine (Film)
    • Abstract:
      Rock era that's so often magical, inventive, rousing and smart that I winced at each loss of brain, heart or courage. One will come upon wonders in Velvet Goldmine, beginning with a glorious opening shot of clustered rooftops unfolding into the distance: probably the most beautiful such image to come along since 101 Dalmatians. By minute six or thereabouts, the movie has jumped forward again, from the seventies to 1984, from a candy-colored London to grim and gray New York, where Arthur Stuart, now terribly dimmed, works as a newspaper writer.
