Moonage Daydream [Blu-ray] [2022] [Region Free]

Product Information

While good intentions abound, I am at a loss as to who this film is meant for, and I say that as a David Bowie fan. It’s not particularly satisfying as a documentary, as existing fans will not come away with new insights, and viewers unfamiliar with Bowie’s work will struggle to contextualize what is presented here. 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. It’s not satisfying as a concert film and thus not particularly suited for rewatching, because there are no complete performances included that one might long to hear again. It’s no “Elvis: That’s The Way It Is,” offering fans a chance to revel in great songs being brilliantly performed. It doesn’t immortalize a single moment in time, as “The Last Waltz” expertly does. It doesn’t offer much by way of intimacy on the subject, failing to penetrate the defensive layers that Bowie built around himself in his public personas. There’s nothing remotely approaching the kind of home movie verisimilitude that “Imagine: John Lennon” offered. As an attempt to convey the appeal and experience of Bowie’s era, its length works against it; what seems exciting and fresh at the beginning becomes repetitive and dull by the time its two-hour-and-fourteen-minute running time concludes. There’s a great idea for a film in here, but the material might have been better served as either a shorter non-linear experience or as a longer, more detail-oriented documentary examination.

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. The songs are transcendent, but the film is not. attentive to his love of creation and analysis. "Moonage Daydream" isn't an education, it's an experience, and one specifically built for Bowie fans structure as "Moonage Daydream" gets, understanding Bowie's relationship with his image and sound.

If it seems incomprehensible and cluttered, you’ll likely feel the same way about the film itself.
