Product Information

Since 2001, we've brought you uncompromising, candid takes on the world of film, music, television, video games, theater, and more. We're completely independent with no corporate influence so you can be sure that the reviews you read are unbiased and come from real people who love pop culture as much as Garon does. The Bowie that emerges through his own words, images, and performances in Morgen’s film is of an artist who knew exactly who he was and stayed true to his all-encompassing vision of life. Morgen may go overboard in trying to awe us with Bowie’s artistry, but at this film’s best, he also doesn’t forget the distinctive individual behind the game-changing art.

Note: I’m taking a break from watching the Oppenheimer blu-ray, the latest blu-ray tech, which means I don’t have a firmware issue as the Criterion people replied to me when I wrote them about this defective disc. Throughout the movie’s 2 hour runtime, Bowie talks about almost everything: music, art, life, mental health and a slew of other topics. Rock 'N' Roll with Me (Live)" - presented here is archival footage from a live performance of that was filmed in 1974. It’s not illuminating or inviting like “No Direction Home,” which successfully explained the allure of early Bob Dylan to newcomers and longtime fans alike.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. And while the Montage of Heck director may appear to be in his thrall at times, the final product is one that will provide rich emotional resonance to fans - but one which may prove chilly to those who only have a fleeting and cursory knowledge of David Bowie.

glides through different eras of the musician's life, avoiding the rules of the genre to achieve a more appropriate understanding of the subject.Disappointingly, it refuses to fully engage the entirety of its subject’s output, instead presenting retreads of footage and periods that have been extensively (and more definitively) covered elsewhere.
