Cracked Actor / UK / 1975

One of the best rock documentaries, cramming more into it’s 53 minutes than most manage in twice that. Bowie is at his peak here, on the cusp between the technicolour rock excess of ‘Diamond Dogs’ and the snowblind, introspective soul of ‘Young Americans’. The live sequences are mindblowing, even more so for Bowie’s wise, witty discussion of the various meanings in his writing, costume and performance. His American fans seem endearingly hopeless, tarted up to the nines in a variety of queasy glitter togs, wandering aimlessly through the parking lot muttering about how ‘changed’ they are. It all feels like a different world.
