Rotten
As satisfying viewing experiences go, the film comes up mighty short in terms of story, interesting characters and technical prowess, not to mention a 65-minute running time.

Overview
Matt, a young glaciologist, soars across the vast, silent, icebound immensities of the South Pole as he recalls his love affair with Lisa. They meet at a mobbed rock concert in a vast music hall - London's Brixton Academy. They are in bed at night's end. Together, over a period of several months, they pursue a mutual sexual passion whose inevitable stages unfold in counterpoint to nine live-concert songs.

Nice folks, fun time, thanks for the peek (I guess), and so what?
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
Five decades after the rest of the world twigged to it, Michael Winterbottom has discovered a connection between sex and rock 'n' roll. Bully for him.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten
It is, at its (hard)core, a traditional sex movie with better music and naturalistic situations.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Rotten
A pointless and pretentious cocktail of sex, rock 'n' roll and glaciology.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1983)
Music · PG
Hammersmith Odeon, London, July 3, 1973. British singer David Bowie performs his alter ego Ziggy Stardust for the very last time.
