A documentary cobbled together from interview clips and archival footage finds the legendary rocker and master of reinvention David Bowie meditating on his life and music.
The hour-long film is mostly comprised of two long, hard-to-find interviews: The first, conducted via satellite by the British talk-show host Russell Hardy, shows Bowie at the height of his mid-’70s drug-abuse nightmare, twitching awkwardly and saying things like “I don’t talk to anybody.” But it’s the other conversation, filmed during his late-’90sEarthling period that is truly illuminating. A candid, funny 50-something Bowie discusses everything from the bad behavior evidenced in the earlier interview to the time he spent with Iggy Pop in Berlin to his particular musical obsessions (Harry Partch, Kraut rock).
