A screenplay set in London during in the early-1970s. It celebrates the provocative energy of "glam rock", but also focuses on the music industry's dark manipulativeness. At the heart of the glittering, sexually ambiguous world of the film is a young man's remembrance of things past.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Must-Have for Velvet Goldmine fans!,
By MsKite "mskite" (Media, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Velvet Goldmine (Paperback)
I read the screenplay in one sitting, it's just as engrossing as the movie! What I really loved was seeing some of the parts that were edited in the movie version and seeing some of the written words. The screenplay also helped to answer some questions and made things more clear; everytime I watch the movie or read the screenplay I see something new - it's amazing. The screenplay also includes quite a few black and white stills as well as a few color stills.

Absolutely Brilliant!!,
By glitterfreak7@hotmail.com (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Velvet Goldmine (Paperback)
I devoured this in under two hours! Not only do you get a wonderful read, and stunning photographs...you get a terrific interview with Mr. Haynes. Real insight into the world of glam! If you loved this film half as much as I did, you must have this. It is fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A glittering masterpiece,
By Starla Slade (Merced, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Velvet Goldmine (Paperback)
The screenplay leaves you almost more empty and desperate than the movie.I love it. This screenplay illuminates many details in the movie that are sometimes missed by the bright glittering images. It is busy, no doubt. In reading the screenplay, it is much easier to slow down and read through pieces overlooked in the movie, no matter how many times you watch it. Somehow reading it, not just hearing it, will completely shatter your heart. This was definitely done beautifully. Vision can be distracting when played against such poetry. Watch The Velvet Goldmine, read this screenplay, and watch the movie again. You will be completely sucked in, and transformed for that period of time. The movie was fun; the screenplay will break your heart. I highly, definitely, suggest this piece of art to you.
