David Bowie Film, Based on 'Thousands' of Hours of Rare Footage, Coming From Director Brett Morgen (Exclusive)".

This movie is more of a work of modern art than it is a documentary; Bowie's life is shown in flashes of his essence, spanning his 54-year career as a musician, actor, painter, and all-around artist.Synopsis: Told through sublime, kaleidoscopic, never-before-seen footage, performances and music, Brett Morgen’s (The Kid Stays in the Picture, Cobain: Montage of Heck, Jane) feature-length experiential cinematic odyssey explores David Bowie’s creative, musical and spiritual journey. For one, Morgen acknowledges the history of mental illness in his family that affected his beloved brother Terry, and how it may have influenced some of his art. Combined with Morgen’s jittery editing style, Moonage Daydream above all evokes a feeling of restlessness—wholly appropriate to an artist who not only describes himself as restless in the film, but embodied that voraciousness through an oeuvre that spanned a wide range of styles and a desire for near-constant reinvention, as exemplified through his series of ever-changing stage and screen personas.

Documentarist Brett Morgen spent about five years going through David Bowie's personal libraries, master recordings, and archives as sanctioned by the late musician's estate in the hopes of understanding and deconstructing the musical artistry and spiritual journey of the English global icon.
