Bowie, Man with a Hundred Faces or The Phantom of Hérouville

About This Movie

Bowie, Man with a Hundred Faces or The Phantom of Hérouville (2016) dives deep into the mystique of Bowie through the lens of Hérouville Castle Studios, where much of the '70s rock revolution unfolded. It kind of envelops you in this ethereal atmosphere, with interviews and archival footage that paint a detailed picture of his creative process. The pacing meanders a bit, which oddly feels right for a subject like Bowie—always shifting, never quite pinned down. The film's distinctiveness lies in how it captures the essence of a time and place, with practical effects and a haunting score that echo the influence of the man himself. It’s a journey rather than a straight narrative; you get lost in it, much like Bowie did in his art.
