Features captivating, never-before-seen footage and performances spanning David Bowie's 54-year career including The Jean Genie, Aladdin Sane, Space Oddity, Heroes, Let’s Dance, Modern Love, Young Americans, Changes, and many more. What I would most like to see is Ziggy Stardust reissued on BD or UHD, one of the few Pennebakers stuck on DVD when Criterion have released so much on BD.

coming through with distinct instrumentation and position, often filling the soundstage with heavier rock anthems and delicate acoustic moods. Bowie’s orchestration of that final work, written and recorded in the shadow of his mortality, exploring the big questions of existence and intentionally timed for release just before his passing of a cancer he kept secret from the world, is a subject worthy of its own film.

Indeed, it is edited in a way that makes very large sections of the film look as if they were prepared for a gigantic MTV video or special program. Told through sublime, kaleidoscopic, never-before-seen footage, performances and music, Brett Morgen’s (The Kid Stays in the Picture, Cobain: Montage of Heck, Jane) feature length experiential cinematic odyssey explores David Bowie’s creative, musical and spiritual journey. Obviously, because some of the footage comes from dated, low-quality sources there are numerous fluctuations in terms of delineation, clarity, and depth. David Bowie‘s music career continues to shine even today, and now fans can relive his magic and musical journey through Moonage Daydream. From Oscar-nominated filmmaker Brett Morgen, director of Cobain: Montage of Heck and The Kid Stays in the Picture, MOONAGE DAYDREAM is an immersive cinematic experience; an audio-visual space odyssey that not only illuminatesthe enigmatic legacy of David Bowie but also serves as a guide to living a fulfilling and meaningful life in the 21st Century.As a result, much of the most valuable content, like the interviews where Bowie begins addressing the void that existed between his personal and public life and the reasons behind the seismic shift that occurred in his career after he relocated from Los Angeles to Berlin, never becomes the foundation of a coherent and illuminating story.

Morgen pulls together a feature made up of file footage and old clips, while newer visual effects and artful detours are present.

As odd as it may sound, it feels like filler material in a massive show-off piece that simply takes advantage of Bowie's strangeness, fully aware of its market potential as well. I did not see the film at my local theater and do not know if this is how its soundtrack was finalized, but I assume that it is how it was done. From Oscar-nominated filmmaker Brett Morgen, director of Cobain: Montage of Heck and The Kid Stays in the Picture, MOONAGE DAYDREAM is an immersive cinematic experience; an audio-visual space odyssey that not only illuminates the enigmatic legacy of David Bowie but also serves as a guide to living a fulfilling and meaningful life in the 21st Century. It’s no “Elvis: That’s The Way It Is,” offering fans a chance to revel in great songs being brilliantly performed. The film is guided by David Bowie's own narration and is the first officially sanctioned film on the artist.
