Product Information

Entertainment Weekly 's Joshua Rothkopf gave the film a grade of "A−", complimenting the remixed music by Tony Visconti and noting that, "Occasionally, Morgen's flow can feel belabored and imprecise, [. Siddhant Adlakha of IndieWire gave the film a "B+", characterizing it thus: "More sensory experience than straightforward recounting, [ Moonage Daydream] is about feeling your way through a chaotic world with Ziggy Stardust as your anchor. Bowie is pictured in many clips from his glam rock years wearing heavily costumed outfits often experimenting with the signature transgender dressing associated with his early years. The second part of the film discussed and presents Bowie's extensive interests in the arts while in West Berlin outside of the music industry, such as his interest in oil painting and acrylic painting, as well as his interest in writing within the literary arts.

Morgen was granted unprecedented access to five million items belonging to Bowie, including paintings, drawings, recordings, photographs, films, and journals. An initial digital release was set for 16 September 2022, with a two-disc CD version to follow on 18 November 2022 and a three-disc vinyl record release was released on 31 March 2023. Through this process, Morgen does start to pull out some of the bio of Bowie—the influence of his older brother, an interview segment in which he speaks about love—but he’s way more interested in the art than the man (although one could argue they intertwine). In 2021, Variety reported that Brett Morgen had been developing a film based on David Bowie, "for which an official title has not been disclosed, for the last four years.Or how he chose the influences that pepper the film—shots of everything from “ Nosferatu” to “ The Passion of Joan of Arc” to many more. He really captures Bowie as not the alien spaceman that once defined his image but almost a filter for all other pop culture. That led to a terrifying confusion: for if we could not take the place of God, how could we fill the space we had created within ourselves? Bowie speaks at one point about going into the deep water until just when your feet can’t touch the ground anymore.
