Johnny Flynn in Stardust (2020)
David Bowie is one of the most seminal legends in music history; but who was the man behind the many faces? In 1971, a 24-year-old fledgling David Bowie (Johnny Flynn) is sent to America to promote his newest record, The Man Who Sold the World. Leaving behind his pregnant wife Angie (Jena Malone), Bowie and his band embark on a makeshift coast-to-coast promotional tour with struggling Mercury Records publicist Rob Oberman (Marc Maron).

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film was created without official permission from David Bowie's family and therefore is not licensed to include any of his songs.
    • Goofs
      David has only been in the US for a few weeks when he calls his obviously pregnant wife, Angie at home in England. She was not noticeably pregnant before he left, nor was it known that she is pregnant.
    • Quotes

      Ron Oberman: Okay, the thing to remember about LA is that they love an exotic Englishman out here, all right? They're going to be endless kissing your ass and promising you the world.

      David Bowie: Yeah, sounds awful.

      Ron Oberman: Just remember, it's not reality, all right? This is an insane, fucked up city of lies. It's like rock candy mountain or the fun fair in Pinocchio.

    A couple of great performances lifts this
    Sure, there's none of Bowie's music here, so if that's why you may want to watch it, don't bother. Once you're past that, it's a pretty engaging little film - Flynn is great (and we all know he really can sing; the Brel stuff is fabulous) and Marc Maron turned in a great performance.

    FAQ1

    • Why was this movie made even though it went against Bowie and his family's wishes and doesn't include any of his music because they didn't want the movie made??
