Synopsis

Just a couple months after David Bowie's death, director Sonia Anderson told the story of one of the most mystifying personalities the music industry had ever seen.

Part of Bowie's allure is that he was, above all, an enigma, who we will never truly understand.

This is his story, told from the inside.

Through a compilation of interviews with those closest to him, from childhood friends to artists he worked with, this documentary presents an intimate portrait of the iconic artist, and investigates his rise to stardom, and his unique position in music history.

Featuring contributions from key collaborators and friends who have never spoken about David Bowie on camera before, who recount the highs and lows of the man they loved and reveal a complex figure who created a musical rebellion with his trailblazing genius.

Travelling to David Bowie's hometown, we meet his close friends from the early days, who look back on the life and career of the future rock star, and explore the impact of Bowie's upbringing on his music and the extraordinary legacy he left behind.

Featuring extensive interviews with band mates and rock musicians from a career spanning six decades, the film explores how Bowie developed his unique sound and style of playing and first made his mark on the music scene to become one of the most important pioneers in music.

David Bowie's profound influence lives on as his music continues to resonate.

Weaving together stunning archive footage, plus David Bowie's own voice from the archives, this documentary gives unparalleled insight into the life of Bowie, and offers a moving and intimate portrait of a true 20th century icon.

1/10

The music choices in the documentary felt repetitive and did not enhance the storytelling or emotional impact of the film. I was expecting a more dynamic and engaging soundtrack to accompany such a legendary artist's life story.

Steven Hall
3/10

The soundtrack did not do justice to the complexity and depth of David Bowie's musical legacy. It lacked the creativity and artistry that Bowie himself brought to his own work, leaving me disappointed and disconnected from the documentary's narrative.
