David Bowie documentary “Moonage Daydream” is, like the man himself, a one off. A mind-bending fusion of sound and color, spiked with Bowie’s signature oddity, it was a huge hit with critics, landing a Grammy award, but left audiences fiercely divided. Regardless of where you stand, it’s essential viewing for any Bowie fan.
Created with the blessing of the Bowie estate and with full access to its enormous archive of performance, film and unseen footage, recordings, art, documents, interviews and whatever else was lurking back there, Brett Morgen’s “Moonage Daydream” takes the neon-lit form of a psychedelic montage that doesn’t simply guide the viewer through Bowie’s colorful life, but aims to elucidate his creative process.
It was almost the death of Morgen, the filmmaker behind 2015’s “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck”. A near-fatal heart attack during production left him comatose, and went on to shape and guide the finished article. Rated 92 % on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s up there with the likes of “In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon”, “Kurt Cobain: Moments That shook Music” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Road Diary”.
