With echoes of Brian De Palma's The Phantom of the Paradise, Todd Haynes's glitzy musical from 1998 centers around Brian Slade, an enigmatic glam rocker who fakes his own death. Loaded with original songs (because Bowie refused to lend his own), the cast is filled with terrific actors including Ewan McGregor, Christian Bale, Toni Collette, Eddie Izzard, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Slade. ---------- Trailers from Hell showcases classic previews of past movie attractions punctuated with humorous commentary by iconic filmmakers. http://www.trailersfromhell.com But wait!
