Young Ewan MacGregor, Christian Bale and Jonathan Rhys Meyers star in New Queer Cinema auteur Todd Haynes' loosely-fictionalized bisexual 1970s glam-rock faux biopic based on the lives and loves of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Lou Reed. Say that three times fast.

Stuart, himself forged by the music of the 1970s, explores the larger-than-life stars who were once his idols and what has become of them since the turn of the new decade.
