1971: Velvet Goldmine takes viewers on a vibrant journey through the explosive rise of glam rock, a genre that defied the seriousness of the flower power generation with its glittery aesthetics and rebellious music. At the center of the story is Brian Slade, a young rock star whose flamboyant persona and provocative performances inspire a generation of fans to embrace their own sexuality and express themselves boldly. However, as his fame reaches its peak, Slade finds himself unable to escape the character he created, Maxwell Demon, and becomes consumed by his own creation.
In a shocking turn of events, Slade plots his own murder in an attempt to reinvent himself and shed his past identity. When his fans discover the truth behind his supposed demise, Slade's star quickly fades, and he falls into obscurity.
Fast forward to 1984, Arthur, a journalist for a New York newspaper, is assigned to write a story on the tenth anniversary of Slade's fake death. As Arthur delves into the mystery surrounding Slade's disappearance, he unravels a web of secrets that intertwine with his own personal journey of self-discovery.
Velvet Goldmine explores themes of identity, fame, and the price of reinvention. Set against the backdrop of the glam rock movement, this film captivates audiences with its dazzling visuals, electrifying performances, and a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of stardom.
