Press Release Criterion Press Release: Moonage Daydream (2022) (4k UHD Combo) (Blu-ray) (1 Viewer)

[Ronald Epstein]

​

An ecstatic voyage through the creative and spiritual universe of David Bowie, Moonage Daydream is a fittingly unclassifiable tribute to the shape-shifting rock iconoclast and his singular sound and vision. Exploding the conventions of the music documentary, director Brett Morgen remixes dazzling, never-before-seen footage of the artist throughout his career, reveling in his otherworldly presence while revealing the restless philosophical inquiry that guided his myriad metamorphoses. Graced with soulful narration by Bowie, this immersive audiovisual head rush transmits the essence of a phenomenon that cannot be explained—only experienced.

Wow - this was a surprise! It's already had a US blu-ray release last year - with zero supplements - and I saw it after The Velvet Underground; quite a similar vibe and they make a great double-bill. The 5.1 soundtrack on the blu-ray was really good, but I expect the Atmos on the Criterion to take it to another level.

Hated this "documentary" when I saw it last year.

Will I like it better a 2nd time? Probably not, but will give it a try.
