Product Information

attentive to his love of creation and analysis. "Moonage Daydream" isn't an education, it's an experience, and one specifically built for Bowie fans The 5.1 DTS-HD MA mix has a lot of sonic layers to manage during the run time, as Morgen is working to create a sense of beautiful chaos to the Commentary - this audio commentary was recorded by writer/director/producer/editor Brett Morgen in the spring of 2023. The disc’s lone bonus feature is the film’s theatrical trailer. What a missed opportunity! While it is understood that licensing additional clips for inclusion as bonus features would have added to the budget without benefitting the film proper, I would have loved an interview or commentary with Brett Morgen. It would have been interesting to hear why he focused on the portions of Bowie’s life that he ultimately chose, and illuminating to discover why he felt other equally acclaimed moments were deemed unworthy of inclusion. Alas, there’s nothing like that to be found here. The film will be released in cinemas and IMAX on September 16th via Neon in the States and by Universal Entertainment International globally. North American cable and streaming rights have been licensed to HBO and HBO Max. BMG and Live Nation Productions are executive producers and financiers of the film.

Looks like it's finally happening. New listings are up for Steelbook and a Collector's Edition w/ Steelbook with a December 11th date. Moonage Daydream" is perhaps best appreciated in an altered state of mind, as Morgen tends to go for sensorial overload, which has its appealing But even though the cameras loved Bowie and there was always plenty of material with him to feed the demand for information about his life and legacy, the truth is that it was never enough. There are two reasons for this. First, Bowie was an introverted person who sought solace because it stimulated his mind and too much of what he did when the cameras were not around remained veiled in secrecy. It is why a great deal of mystique developed around him and a lot of people became fascinated by it. Second, Bowie was very smart and did a lot of interesting things to take maximum advantage of the mystique. For example, Bowie intentionally created a lot of controversies, merged them with the mystique, and enhanced his strangeness because he understood its market potential. In other words, while the strangeness defined Bowie, over the years it was also brilliantly managed by Bowie to ensure the longevity of his illustrious career. aiming to create an "experience" with the endeavor, often mashing together imagery and music, or simply noise at times while Morgen zooms around While good intentions abound, I am at a loss as to who this film is meant for, and I say that as a David Bowie fan. It’s not particularly satisfying as a documentary, as existing fans will not come away with new insights, and viewers unfamiliar with Bowie’s work will struggle to contextualize what is presented here. It’s not illuminating or inviting like “No Direction Home,” which successfully explained the allure of early Bob Dylan to newcomers and longtime fans alike. It’s not satisfying as a concert film and thus not particularly suited for rewatching, because there are no complete performances included that one might long to hear again. It’s no “Elvis: That’s The Way It Is,” offering fans a chance to revel in great songs being brilliantly performed. It doesn’t immortalize a single moment in time, as “The Last Waltz” expertly does. It doesn’t offer much by way of intimacy on the subject, failing to penetrate the defensive layers that Bowie built around himself in his public personas. There’s nothing remotely approaching the kind of home movie verisimilitude that “Imagine: John Lennon” offered. As an attempt to convey the appeal and experience of Bowie’s era, its length works against it; what seems exciting and fresh at the beginning becomes repetitive and dull by the time its two-hour-and-fourteen-minute running time concludes. There’s a great idea for a film in here, but the material might have been better served as either a shorter non-linear experience or as a longer, more detail-oriented documentary examination.The spoken word audio and visuals rest of a bed of music that binds everything together. The sound design is incredible and with the help of Tony Visconti songs are often deconstructed and reconstructed during a sequence before morphing into something else. This provides a kaleidoscopic and sometimes disorienting experience. Morgen is clearly influenced by Bowie’s mid-seventies ‘cut-up’ lyric-writing techniques (a concept borrowed from William Burroughs) where he’d write lyrics and cut them up and jumble them about with the goal being to inspire new ideas. Morgen takes his cue from that and uses this non-linear technique visually, something Steven Soderbergh played with in his 1999 film The Limey. Surrounds are active, offering panning effects and channel separation, and there's a fuller sound for concert performances. Low-end is also responsive. Moonage Daydream" is a wild viewing experience, and admittedly a tiring one at times, but the primary push to respect Bowie's obsessions with art Moonage Daydream is a definitive new portrait of Bowie by acclaimed filmmaker Brett Morgen. Morgen synthesized Bowie’s music and art into a sublime kaleidoscopic experiential cinematic odyssey that explores Bowie’s creative, spiritual, and philosophical journey. With never-before-seen footage, performances, and music, the film is guided exclusively by Bowie’s narration with long-time collaborator and friend Tony Visconti serving as the film’s music producer.
