Director Brett Morgen's 'Moonage Daydream' film is about the many alter egos and incarnations of the Bowie persona as invented by a dazzlingly creative boy from postwar Brixton who changed rock music and popular culture forever, writes Sean Burns.
Director Brett Morgen has been taking great pains on the publicity circuit to stress that his kaleidoscopic collage epic “” is not a documentary about David Robert Jones. This isn’t one of those movies that wants to show you the man behind the music. It’s a film about David Bowie. Or more accurately, a film about the many alter egos and incarnations of the Bowie persona as invented by a dazzlingly creative boy from postwar Brixton who changed rock music and popular culture forever.
What you won’t get is much in the way of biographical material, nor any cutaways to Rolling Stone reporters explaining the historical importance of what you just watched. There are no contemporary artists telling you how David Bowie taught them it was okay to be weird. Which is fine, as far as I’m concerned, because we can find that stuff anywhere.
