How come I’d not heard of this before today? What with Dave’s and Stan’s excellent Bowie threads and everything? What do you people think I come here for if not informative information and sexual innuendos? I curse your collective lackadaisicality. Having said that, looks good this. Especially compared to the debacle that was Stardust. But I’m a bit perplexed by Peter Bradshaw’s review and, indeed, by Peter Bradshaw, in the light of one comment he makes. In his review of the documentary Bradshaw says: “His physical beauty in my view can be compared to Wilfred Thesiger”. Now I’ve looked up this Wilfred Thesiger character on my computer and I can’t see any trace of Bowie, nor, if I may be a little impertinent, of “physical beauty”. He looks more like WH Auden. Martin Landau perhaps. Eric Sykes, even. In the earlier photos he looks like one of them three playing Jesus.
Looking forward to seeing this, regardless.
