David Bowie

Boy George was the coat check girl (admittedly stealing money from the purses) .... Bowie, synth beats, and a new freedom of sexual identity were in the air. The Blitz Club spell was cast and a hotbed of talent emerged: Ultravox, Spandau Ballet, Culture Club, Sade, and practically everyone else you've ever heard from the era.

In 1975, having been driven to the brink of breakdown via a bad drug habit and overwork, David Bowie left LA and set up camp in a rundown Berlin apartment with his buddy Iggy Pop - similarly on the cusp of madness. While there Bowie created a quite astonishing triumvirate of albums under his own name, and a further two with Pop. This film uncovers the full story of this remarkable period of Bowie's life and the records that were created in its midst....

If there's one artist who defines what pop and rock music should be better than any other, that artist simply has to be David Bowie. Having now been in the business close to fifty years, this completely unique performer, composer and maverick music maker has charmed and delighted almost everybody who has ever heard his records.

Delightful animation weaves a spell of magical enchantment as a young boy's snowman comes to life and escorts him on a visit to the North Pole.
