    So glad to have seen this.
    This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. As a ardent David Bowie fan it portrays his very human heart. He explored the theatre & took risks being true to his talent & not pandering to the mainstream. His work was developing as he matured. I would have loved to have him as a friend.
