Brett Morgen's Moonage Daydream is a 140-minute B shapeshifting epiphany-slash-freakout leading to the revelation that, yes, we're lovers of David Bowie and that is that.

Film review - A glorious celebration of the sound and vision of Bowie

Moonage Daydream

Cannes film festival 

It's a glorious celebratory montage of archive material, live performance footage, Bowie's own experimental video art and paintings, movie and stage work and interviews with various normcore TV personalities with whom Bowie is unfailingly polite, open and charming. (There is the inevitable Dick Cavett - who deserves a documentary of his own. But my one disappointment is that the 90s TV interview with Jeremy Paxman in which Bowie tried to convince Paxman that this internet invention was going to be very important isn't included.)
