Moonage Daydream [DVD] [2022]

Product Information

Siddhant Adlakha of IndieWire gave the film a "B+", characterizing it thus: "More sensory experience than straightforward recounting, [ Moonage Daydream] is about feeling your way through a chaotic world with Ziggy Stardust as your anchor. From his early musical beginnings in 1962 through his posthumous releases, and concert footage, Bowie's influence, and influences are captured superbly.

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. The Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Content Group releases the horror thriller Piercing on Blu-ray and DVD March 12.

Synopsis: 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.

Exploding the conventions of the music documentary, director Brett Morgen remixes dazzling, never-before-seen footage of the artist throughout his career, reveling in his otherworldly presence while revealing the restless philosophical inquiry that guided his myriad metamorphoses. Moonage Daydream weaves in more familiar footage—interview segments and clips from his stage and film performances—with previously unseen concert performances, alternate takes of songs, and other such archival material. Unabashedly visceral as it may be, Moonage Daydream doesn’t always escape the moony-eyed feeling of hero worship, sometimes at the cost of nuance.

The purposely neon-hued color grading is consistently vibrant, while the dynamic range of colors only further intensifies the film’s hypnagogic tendencies.Told through sublime, kaleidoscopic, never-before-seen footage, performances and music, MOONAGE DAYDREAM is the first officially sanctioned film to explore Bowie’s creative, musical and spiritual journey, guided by Bowie’s own narration. It is all tied together with Bowie finding a sense of self and fullness and how this influenced later works. Maybe it's just the advancing years catching up with me but I'm sure that there will be others out there who consider it a masterpiece. My wife has bought me this Bluray for Christmas, so I'm looking forward to seeing again with the volume cranked up on my 5.

For the film, the David Bowie Estate gave Morgen access to a wealth of rare recordings, films, drawings, and journals, and he hasn’t shied away from showing off that access on screen. This is not a typical rock documentary, firstly the narration is by David Bowie himself, made possible from various interviews. It is a genre-defying cinematic experience based on one of the most iconic and global rock stars of all time, destined to be one of the defining cultural moments of the year. Though Bowie’s music dominates the soundtrack (with his songs remixed for maximum heart-thumping arena-rock impact), the documentary also includes music inspired by the man’s art, including snippets from the Philip Glass symphonies based on Bowie’s Low and Heroes albums.Bowie emerges from these pre-Berlin years as a significant rock-and-roll star on the London scene making an impact throughout much of Britain and the United States. And I am glad that I saw it again … hence this time I saw it as a whole and not in bits and pieces with certain pieces missing … and me saying, “why was this not included, etc, etc”. The music on the album consists of rare or previously unreleased live tracks, as well as newly created remixes, interspersed with monologues from Bowie himself. To accompany the film, a soundtrack album containing music of Bowie's used therein was announced on 25 August 2022. At the turn of the 20th century, Friedrich Nietzsche proclaimed that God is dead and that man had killed him.
