Product Information

Graced with soulful narration by Bowie, this immersive audiovisual head rush transmits the essence of a phenomenon that cannot be explained—only experienced. Morgen pulls together a feature made up of file footage and old clips, while newer visual effects and artful detours are present. Woven into this are often stunning animations and celestial visuals; cuts to iconic pop-culture visuals from the 20th century (e. The film frequently looks quite incredible, though I think that a lot of the editing choices are quite strange.

The David Bowie biopic, Moonage Daydream, will be released to Blu-ray and DVD on November 15th in the US and December 5th in Europe. The film is guided by David Bowie’s own narration and is the first officially sanctioned film on the artist.Ultimately, it is difficult not to concede that an opportunity was missed to deliver a great documentary film about Bowie and his legacy. However, there is so much content overlapping of excellent content and rougher/aged content that a lot of the discrepancies in quality become very difficult to compare. The film will be released in cinemas and IMAX on September 16th via Neon in the States and by Universal Entertainment International globally. And, if you’re curious about additional streaming options, streamers like Prime Video and Hulu have it with the addition of Max to your channels. Obviously, because some of the footage comes from dated, low-quality sources there are numerous fluctuations in terms of delineation, clarity, and depth.

It doesn’t have any revelatory, never-before-seen footage; instead, it draws from previously available live recordings and television interviews. 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. He reconnects with his desire to be artistic, vows to please himself in the 1990s, meets his second wife Iman (there’s no mention of Angie), falls in love and is finally contented. In fact, there is plenty of footage where I think that the difference in quality between the native 4K and 1080p presentations is insignificant, and these are not the areas where standard definition content is used. At two hours and 15 minutes the film is at least half an hour too long, a feeling accentuated by the reuse of clips you’ve already seen on a number of occasions which gives a rather circular, haven’t-we-been-here-before vibe to proceedings.It would have been interesting to hear why he focused on the portions of Bowie’s life that he ultimately chose, and illuminating to discover why he felt other equally acclaimed moments were deemed unworthy of inclusion. Universal (via WB distribution) (UK) will be releasing the upcoming David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream on 4K on December 11th. Surrounds are active, offering panning effects and channel separation, and there's a fuller sound for concert performances. Don’t have a subscription, Prime Video and Hulu are both offering 30 day free trials when you sign up for a membership. This film isn’t like the typical musical documentary though — instead, it explore’s Bowie’s thoughts on life, music and creativity through never-before-seen footage and performances.

Ziggy on stage in 73 cuts straight to a pensive Bowie in being filmed in the Far East a decade later, before switching back again. Because of the internet, there will never be another artist as fascinatingly strange and influential as David Bowie.Also, the glue that is supposed to make everything stick together is Bowie's words -- the recollections, descriptions, and confessions -- but they are not matched properly to make the tone, energy, and style of the visuals come together well.

Brett Morgen's Moonage Daydream offers a most unusual glimpse into Bowie's strange world but I found it quite difficult to endure because of its intense ultra-modern visual style. capturing the subject during different stages of his career, also detailing a growing comfort with the process of promotion. In the internet era, the mystique that surrounded these big names cannot materialize and this means that the environment that is needed to nurture an icon is forever lost.The wonderful footage, the probing interviews (some more revealing than others) and the incredible live performances are all highly enjoyable, but when stitched together they do not add up to more than the sum of their parts.
