Moonage Daydream (documentary) ★★★★

In a saturated marketplace of nostalgia-driven contemplations on iconic artists, how could something break the mould? Brett Morgen’s sensory experience does just that, but it never strays from the purpose, providing every David Bowie fan with something familiar and different. From the beginning to the end of Bowie’s life and career, this is a celebration of the music and the man.

Nick is a PhD research student based in the UK, looking at auteur theory in regards to David Lynch. Initially graduating from university with a degree in photography, Nick was originally more focused on the still image as contemporary art. It wasn’t until the world of cinephilia became more accessible to him in his twenties that he pursued further education in film, gaining a Master’s in Film & Television studies. Allured by the strange and mysterious worlds of David Lynch, David Cronenberg and Yorgos Lanthimos, Nick later explored the rich cinema of other auteurs such as Ingmar Bergman, Paul Thomas Anderson, Hal Hartley and Park Chan-wook. Often writing about film and its many nuances, Nick hopes to develop a career in academic writing and theory whilst continuing to produce idiosyncratic visual art of his own. Twitter: @whalefromtv
