Brett Morgen’s Moonage Daydream is a more intimate dive into David Bowie than a traditional documentary or concert film can achieve. As an IMAX experience, it is immersive to an almost intrusive degree. It is a shame it will only be available in such a form for so short a time.
Between 1967 and 2016, David Bowie released 27 studio albums, 150 singles, shot music videos, and personal experimental films. He toured the world, and recorded in studios in London, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Berlin, and Montreux. Bowie’s estate granted Morgen full access to Bowie’s archives: long-buried performance footage, previously unheard recordings, rough 35mm and 16mm film stock, experimental video art, paintings, home movie clips, photographs, and journals.
The director of such diverse cinematic biographies as The Kid Stays in the Picture and Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck spent the first two years of the project just watching, taking it all in.

Their longevity has given them the opportunity to live through their company’s change from a raucously-growing enterprise to a mature business, evolving from what had primarily been a movie service to a programmer just as identified with such acclaimed, high-profile original programming as The Sopranos, Band of Brothers, True Blood, and, most recently, Boardwalk Empire.
Still, they have spent most of their professional lives dealing with movies. A production executive at a major studio might deal with two dozen released films a year. Programmers at HBO (and its sister channel Cinemax) easily deal with over a thousand. They appraise them, try to understand what people...
