If you loved Safe, try Velvet Goldmine

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Todd Haynes, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Safe, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Velvet Goldmine is

A reporter digs up the leather-jacketed past of a vanished glam icon. Ten years after Brian Slade fakes his death mid-concert an ex-journo walks the underlit trail of glitter and betrayal. The movie’s soundtrack supplies the glitter, Bowie’s ghost supplies the glitter.
