Todd Haynes’s \u003ci\u003eVelvet Goldmine\u003c\/i\u003e (1998) transforms that mystery into a vivid collage of memory, fantasy, and desire, creating an alternative history of rock and a landmark of queer cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVelvet Goldmine\u003c\/i\u003e divided opinion on its release, but Katherine Reed traces how the film’s fans have kept it alive through rewatches, relistens, and fan fiction. Reed weaves in the history of the film with close readings of its cinematic references, songs, and style. She re-evaluates \u003ci\u003eVelvet Goldmine\u003c\/i\u003e in light of Haynes’s other films, addresses its fraught production history and its allusions to David Bowie, Lou Reed, and Iggy Pop, and the ways in which Haynes reshapes those figures into a new mythology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReed also analyses \u003ci\u003eVelvet Goldmine\u003c\/i\u003e’s soundtrack, and examines legendary costume designer Sandy Powell’s role in creating blends of fantasy and reality in each character’s wardrobe. Like the film itself, this is not a linear history, but an exploration of how \u003ci\u003eVelvet Goldmine\u003c\/i\u003e teaches us to create anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47548213330156,"sku":"9781839027475","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/26bc34ca972041685ae671dc6523eb43.jpg?v=1776900777"},{"product_id":"david-bowie-and-the-moving-image-by-professor-katherine-reed-9781501371400","title":"David Bowie and the Moving Image","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central image of David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?” could have been ripped from his own experience: a child sits “hooked to the silver screen,” reliving fantastical scenes played out on film.
