One of the most touching tracks on an album filled with touching tracks.
Watch Bowie:
Being that yesterday was Friday night and the ninth anniversary of David Bowie's death, I wanted to do more than just listen to his music. I decided to watch a movie with Bowie. I'd recently noticed the Criterion Channel added a Bowie playlist that had The Man Who Fell To Earth on it, and it's been quite some time since I watched that one. En route, however, my finger stalled on the remote as the cursor passed over a different film - one I don't remember ever hearing about before:
Super fun film Directed by Richard Shepard. Reminds me a bit of After Hours, a bit of Quick Change, and a bit of The Dark Backward and The Birdcage (which came after). Spoiler-free Letterbxd review HERE, but the long and the short of it, with Bowie as the male lead, if you're a fan and missed this like I did, see it!!!
Watch:
Oh my god. This movie!!!
Read nothing! If this hadn't gotten a small theatrical run late last year and I could count it toward next year's best of, I have faith that twelve months from now, this would still be in my top ten. Holy F*CK! Kudos to Nick Frost on writing and starring in this, and Steffen Haars for Directing. Everyone involved does a smashing job!
