Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuncan Jones, David Bowie's BAFTA-winning film director son from his first marriage with Angie Bowie, had toyed with the idea about making an official biographical film about his father. However, he found it difficult to focus on the topic, as he was too close to the subject matter and too emotionally involved to make such a film and would rather concentrate on continuing to make fiction films. However, he did tell his stepmother and Bowie's wife Stardust (2020) that he wouldn't stand in the way of this film, provided that it was respectful, truthful, and she was happy with it.

Featured review
Who's the Real Target for This?
First off, I must say that I quite enjoyed this. However, as an old fart familiar with (although variably fond of) much of Bowie's work, I'm not sure how much I learned. Rather, I was conscious of how much was missing (e.g. We get the work with Eno but where was Iggy?). Real Bowie fanatics will probably have seen much of this before, but people at the other extreme who are not familiar with him will probably miss a ton of fleeting allusions and hints at other aspects of his work, but without the clues to follow up. As such, it comes across a bit like an old-time family photo album, where many key events and people are just missing, but "you get what you get" and if that triggers many other personal memories, then it works. Frankly, though, given the body of work and the sheer amount of life he crammed in, I don't think we'll ever see a biopic of the man that does any more than scratch the surface. This'll do for now.
