Three flicks to help you come down after watching ‘Moonage Daydream’
Hey, Ziggy Stardust fans, ready for a trip? David Bowie’s artistic life is being explored in a new psychedelic film Moonage Daydream.
Incorporating rare archival footage and audio from the artist’s estate, some of which have never been broadcast before, Bowie lovers are in for a real treat.Moonage Daydream, which was released September 16, goes above and beyond other documentaries and books on the iconic ’70s queer pop icon.
Filmmaker Brett Morgen had the full cooperation of Bowie’s estate and unlimited access to the artist’s personal archives. The songs have been digitally remastered for the soundtrack, it’s even narrated by Bowie himself. (Posthumously, of course!)Billed as an immersive experience disguised as a documentary, critics say Moonage Daydream is “equal parts psychedelic and philosophical” and “a hallucinatory jukebox doc with killer subtext.” With reviews like that, we are preparing ourselves for a transformative experience.
Let’s hope we don’t “freak out” watching Moonage Daydream, but just in case, here are a few flicks to help with the comedown.Sci-fi fans will enjoy this one.
