Velvet Goldmine is not just a film; it’s a celebration of glam rock’s fearless era. Directed by Todd Haynes in 1998, this musical drama draws inspiration from the legends of the stage and studio, weaving a narrative around a fictional rock superstar and the mythology of glam. The project features a soundtrack crafted with the help of Michael Stipe, bringing together classic glam tracks and new recordings. Notable in-film supergroups Wylde Ratttz and Venus in Furs unite members from Sonic Youth, The Stooges, Radiohead, and more, creating a rich sonic tapestry that remains influential in music and cinema alike.
