OKAY yesterday i procrastinated a lot and made this slide show EXPLAINING VELVET GOLDMINE in an hour and a half. i love this movie so so so much but it’s so utterly incomprehensible and it takes people several watch throughs before they get it completely so like. i thought it would be helpful to have something kind of fun and easy to digest to help process the information. feel free to share the link to this but do NOT repost it (reblogging is ok though).

this post by a my friend @flamingcreature​ has some additional info and links including content warnings, a transcription of the script, the soundtrack and the film itself, so i highly rec checking it out!!

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person… Give him a mask and he’ll tell you the truth.
