Murky and Confusing - 2.75 out of 5 (5/25/1999)
Based on David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" phase (1972-1973) and the "glam rock" period that Bowie spearheaded, this murky, confusing film throws a lot of flash and outrageous behavior at you but doesn't offer much of a plot or any compelling characters. I found it dull and uninvolving; only hard-core Bowie fans will understand all the references. Get the Ziggy Stardust concert picture instead (it's available on DVD!).
