STORY 

The 1990s were a turbulent period for Bowie. Once hailed as the chameleon of pop, he found himself at odds with a changing industry: critics were scathing, and Bowie’s star seemed on the wane himself worried that he was no longer the draw he once was. Yet out of that creative turbulence came a bold resurgence. Refusing to rest on past glories, Bowie pushed forward: conquering Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, confronting his roots in suburban South London, foreseeing the internet age, and ultimately producing Blackstar, his final masterpiece.

Featuring rare interviews with those who knew and worked alongside Bowie, as well as famous fans and figures who have been inspired by his artistry, the film will uncover the strategic brilliance behind Bowie’s artistic resurrection and the inexhaustible, extraordinary creativity that defined his final decade.

“David Bowie’s final chapter wasn’t an ending — it was a resurrection. Our intention with this film

was to explore an artist during at the most vulnerable and least examined moment period of his

career. By focusing on the wilderness years, his creative struggles, and the extraordinary

discipline and imagination that led to Blackstar, we wanted to show Bowie as a human being

confronting both the possibility of failure and of his own mortality with astonishing bravery. The

more we spoke to those who knew and worked with him, the clearer it became that this was not

simply the story of a comeback — it was the story of an artist transforming death itself into art.”
