Did you know

- Quotes
Ron Oberman: Okay, the thing to remember about LA is that they love an exotic Englishman out here, all right? They're going to be endless kissing your ass and promising you the world.
David Bowie: Yeah, sounds awful.
Ron Oberman: Just remember, it's not reality, all right? This is an insane, fucked up city of lies. It's like rock candy mountain or the fun fair in Pinocchio.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Jeremy Vine: Episode #4.5 (2021)
Zero enjoyment.
Zero Bowie music.
Zero new insights learned.
Who would choose to tell this story with a miniscule payoff or leave the fans excited to play some Bowie on the drive home?
The director and producer (rarely do I call out the producer) managed to make David Bowie uninteresting, flat and devoid of magic. I tinkled in a few rating points for cinematography, lighting and acting.
