David Bowie: Finding Fame (TV Movie 2019)

David Bowie: Finding Fame: Directed by Francis Whately. With David Bowie, Phil Lancaster, Denis Taylor, Tony Hatch. Documentary following five years of Bowie’s early career, from the late 1960s through to the on-stage death of Ziggy Stardust in 1973 and features never seen before archive interviews with some of Bowie’s earliest collaborators.

“Not at all what I was hoping for. I expected more about the Ziggy album but it was basically just mentioned once and then some screen text. Maybe 3 minutes of Ziggy content! Completely skipped over it. I enjoyed the interviews and photos of Bowieu0026#39;s childhood, but all of the flashing irrelevant footage and words flashing over images were awful. One gets the impression that who ever created this did not have permission to use most of his music and very little access to any real Bowie film footage. I feel like this could have been condensed to an hour of straightforward information vs the needless flashy crap show it is.”
