Our take
Documenting the life of an infamous glam rocker, director Kieran Turner examines the megalomaniacal ad campaign used to turn a flamboyant personality into a self-appointed icon. Interrogating the star’s extravagant nonconformity, Jobriath A.D. is a sharp portrait of the hustle for 15 minutes of fame
