This review is of the film as now released on DVD - not the man and his crimes.
A lot of the film (The parties, screen test etc) looks staged for it and often badly.
The Live footage shows that he was a great stage act as he remained till the end.
The Screenbound DVD has terrible sound (A lot of the talking is muffled by hiss) and the print looks like it comes from the Channel 4 showing back in the late 90's (the Commercial bumpers from then appear...were they in the original release?)
For those who wish to see what a rock show in the glam day's was like it's an invaluable piece of film..like Ziggy Stardust (Indeed this could be said to be that films lesser brother).
Glitter in his day was a true star, Remember him this way...If you can.
