A couple of weeks ago I went to see 'Moonage Daydream', the new documentary about David Bowie, at the new bijou Garden Cinema just over from Covent Garden. I loved the film and really liked the venue. The film avoided what I was dreading - endless talking heads talking about Bowie - and actually used old interviews so that Bowie essentially narrated his own documentary. It worked really well.
There are lots of film clips I hadn't seen before and the director avoided using the same old film and sound clips, opting for the little known and previously unseen versions. Along with new remixes of some songs and extra special effects that Bowie would probably have used if they'd been available back then. It really is a thing of beauty.
Thoroughly recommended.
