Inside Cinema

David Bowie

Rhidian Davis, BFI Cultural Programme Manager & BFI Bowie Season Programmer, investigates how the Starman himself looked to the silver screen when crafting his greatest musical creations, drawing inspiration from the likes of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange for the smash-hit 'Space Oddity' and his breakthrough album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. This episode then explores how Bowie, at the height of his fame, went through many ch-ch-changes as a film star in his own right, from The Man Who Fell to Earth and Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence to Labyrinth and The Prestige
