Summary:

A celebration of the last five years of David Bowie's life with a detailed look at albums The Next Day and Blackstar, and the musical Lazarus. From the arrival of Major Tom to the disappearance of Mr Buttoneyes, there was never anything predictable about David Bowie. But perhaps no period in his career raised more fascination than those last five years. Through the prism of his last work, this film shows how Bowie returned to the core themes present throughout his career. Featuring interviews with musicians, designers and video directors who worked with Bowie during this time, this film is a fascinating insight into one of the greatest artists of modern times.
