Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Todd Haynes’ Glam Rock classic!
Set in the 1970s, Velvet Goldmine is the story of the life, death and resurrection of a glam-rock idol named Brian Slade, played by Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and probably inspired by David Bowie. After headlining a brief but dazzling era of glitter rock, he fakes his own death onstage. When the hoax is revealed, his cocaine use increases, his sales plummet, and he disappears from view. A decade later, in the fraught year of 1984, a journalist named Arthur Stuart (Christian Bale) is assigned to find out what really happened to Brian Slade. (118 min, USA/UK, directed by Todd Haynes).
Before the movie, enjoy a live performance by Little Man! The best of classic guitar driven rock in one small package. Little Man has been described as a cross between George Harrison, David Bowie, T.Rex and Jack White with a familiar rock sound that is somehow all their own while heavily being inspired by spiritual and Zen themes.
