A Trip Through the Many Worlds of David Bowie
With Moonage Daydream, director Brett Morgen sought to let Bowie’s music and philosophy hit in a whole new way, immersing audiences in an IMAX experience. | Dan Schindel
With his new feature, Moonage Daydream, Morgen has grappled with the most imposing cultural figure yet: David Bowie. In 2017, the legendary singer’s estate gave the director and his crew access to an extraordinary repository of artifacts from the musician’s life — including artwork, photos, and concert and interview footage.
After years of processing, restoring, and assembling these elements, the result is an impressionistic documentary lasting more than two hours and tailored for IMAX theaters.
