Not at all like a lot of « sensationalist » documentaries about space exploration, this is on the slower side, but it’s SO worth it !! It gets almost trippy at times, and some of the shots are so beautiful… Being an astronaut in the 70s looks so fun !! Also the Brian Eno soundtrack in this is INCREDIBLE. Just watch it, it’s really good, AND it’s free on youtube (linked here)
I usually can’t bear documentaries where people just sit and tell stories on camera, so this one was such a gem for me. it’s entirely made up of footage from Bowie’s speeches and performances, much of which had never been seen before. the editing is boldly creative, and the overall experience feels like a trip
