Movie Reviews of Absolute Beginners
Movie Review: A different kind of musical
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this film in its initial theatrical release in 1986, and enjoyed it quite a bit. For the most part, it holds up many years later. It is an extraordinarily flamboyant musical, and in explosively stylized musical numbers conveys the birth of rock 'n roll/mod culture in London. It is very imaginative. James Fox is a pleasure to watch as always as a corrupt, powerful fashion designer and David Bowie does a really wild musical number as an advertising man amped up on his own energy. The lovely Patsy Kensit is perfectly cast as Crepe Suzette, the seemingly carefree yet quite practical beauty who is desired by everybody. This movie is based on the Colin Mac Innes novel of the same title ( it was published in 1959; it's part of his London Trilogy ). The novel is a real delight; well worth reading.
