Broadsheet Trailer Park: Moonage Daydream

What you may need to know.

1. I’m a bit biased on this one after meeting the Thin White Duke in The Baggot Inn back in the day, so forgive me.

2. This is the first teaser trailer for Moonage Daydream, a new film about David Bowie that is neither biopic nor documentary.

3. Footage shows Bowie emerging on-stage in the Ziggy Stardust era, before Bowie recites a passage from Mr. Rice’s Secret, a film in which he starred in 1998: “It’s what you do in life that’s important, not how much time you have,” he says over rousing music.

4. Moonage Daydream, which premiered at Cannes Film Festival this month and was approved by Bowie’s estate, features unreleased 35mm and 16mm footage from David’s personal archives.

6. Brett Morgen, best known for Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015), directed, wrote, and produced.

7. Last November, Variety reported that the film would be “neither documentary nor biography, but an immersive cinematic experience built, in part, upon thousands of hours of never before seen material,” citing a source. It was also reported that Tony Visconti, Bowie’s longtime producer, served as the film’s music producer.

Andy’s verdict: He Is A Hero!

Release: In cinemas September.

      Apologies though it was a cover by some Britain has talent band
      Saw Bowie when he had his thin white duke phase in New York
      What a concert
      Was always a Bowie fan and listen to his rendition of port of Amsterdam his Mersey beats album with sorrow classic Hunkey dory and even the hit single by mott the hoople with Bowie on vocals stunning
      He also played the elephant man on broadway with rave reviews and act he could
      Loved happy Christmas mister Lawrence and the man who fell to earth years ahead of it’s time
      The remake based on after bowies character could never come near that one
      His whole metamorphoses in his career from ziggy stardust was plain genius
      He studied under marcel Marceau to learn mime which he used on broadway in the role of elephant man a solo play
      His idols stretched back to Jonnie thunders in the New York dolls and before
      A genius up there with Beethoven Dylan and their ilk

    Actually Bowie was no far of Nazis his love of berthold Brecht and the Berlin underground scene of decadence was anything but a nazi ideal of aryan urbarmench was being burnt in funeral pyres by the thuggish Nazis
    Much of the art decadent confiscated and some burnt from artists like Picasso Klimt
    A good popular film Cabaret will give you a pretty rose tinted introduction to what was the attraction of Berlin it’s the idiots guide to the nightclub decadent scene thriving under the Nazis eyes and the period that even our own gavin Friday from the prunes found spell binding
    As for nazi uniforms just look at the producers by Mel brooks
    You might even call him a nazi sympathiser as well and he is Jewish
    Berlin just happened to be where nazi Germany and hitler and his thugs emerged
    Maybe Sara you need to get a couple of books about art and stop reading trashy novels
    You kind of remind me of Sasha baron cohens words in the dictator that the illegal Zionist state of Israel sunk the titanic
    The only thing ayran about david Bowie was his blond hair and blue eyes
