A documentary on the years in Berlin by David Bowie is out
Another BBC documentary is coming to David Bowiebut not before another year has passed. It is titled ‘Bowie in Berlin’ And its release is scheduled for the autumn of 2026, when 50 years have passed since the English musician moved from Los Angeles to the German city in an attempt to free himself from the yoke of the drug and relaunch his career.
So it was.
David Bowie
he released the so -called Berlin trilogy: the albums
“Low”
And
“Heroes”
in 1977 and
“Lodger”
In 1979. Three records that were example for many other artists. So much so that moving to Berlin and giving an artistic touch became a rather chopped cliché.
The BBC documentary, in the intentions, aims to deepen this topic. It is significant that the British network managed to speak with four women who have known very closely
David Bowie
In those years and that they were interviewed very rarely:
Romy Haag, Claire Shenstone, Sarah-Rena Hine
And
Sydne Rome
.
The press release forwarded by the BBC recites: “These women saw a Bowie that no one else had seen. All of them gave them something different, helping him to regenerate in an artist who no longer needed to hide behind the characters, but he was happy to perform as himself: David Robert Jones”.
The documentary director is Francis Whately – which has already directed three films on David Bowie: ‘David Bowie: Finding Fame’, ‘David Bowie: Five Years’ And ‘David Bowie: The Last Five Years’ -, while the executive manufacturer is Louis Theroux who declared, “This is a dream project. The three previous Francois films on Bowie represent the reference point for Bowie’s cinematography and, in general, for documentaries on music. Concentrating his art on the Berlin years, through the lens of the women of Bowie’s life, is a perfect combination between director and material. There is a wonderful unit of time and place in the Bowie period. Also found to create some of his most personal songs, and then relaunch himself for the first time without mask, as himself.
