Brett Morgen's trippy documentary about David Bowie forgoes the musical basics in favor of a kaleidoscopic look through the performer's life and personal philosophy, all told in his own voice. Brilliantly compiled from a variety of footage (interviews, performances, films, photos, art, animation), the film begins with Ziggy Stardust and then traces his continued reinventions over the years. It's far from comprehensive – there's no Angie Bowie or Tin Machine and hardly anything before Ziggy – but it expresses the shape-shifting quality of a musician who's always one step ahead.
