In a post-Netflix documentary world, it’s truly so refreshing to watch a movie like this!

Moonage Daydream posits the question more filmmakers need to ask themselves, “What is the best way to represent our subject?”.

We are currently living in one of the best and worst times to be a documentarian.

  It’s great because audiences are flocking to streaming to watch hours upon hours of documentaries. The bad news is that companies like Netflix produce very cookie-cutter documentaries. 

You shoot interviews of people talking straight into the camera as photos pass through the screen and they maybe show a little footage of the subject in action.

Moonage Daydream, on the other hand, looks at the life and persona of David Bowie. 

It gives you a pretty full picture of him through concert footage. It sets the landscape for psychedelic imagery that is reminiscent of 2001 a Space Odyssey and Andy Warhol’s garish pop aesthetic.

 It’s basically a two-hour trip into the persona of Bowie. 

It feels strange to pick a clip from this movie, as it often feels like one long sequence.  Since we can’t show you the whole film,  here is the titular scene.
