David Bowie: Jazzin' for Blue Jean

About This Movie

So, 'Jazzin' for Blue Jean' is this quirky little gem from '84 that showcases Bowie in a way that’s both playful and absurd. Running at just 20 minutes, it really captures that early MTV vibe, blending music and a loose narrative. Bowie plays this hapless character, Vic, who’s trying to navigate the awkwardness of romance and social interactions. The tone is a mix of comedy and a sort of surreal charm that only Bowie could pull off. The practical effects, like the quirky set designs and the way the music segments are integrated, give it a unique feel. Temple’s direction helps elevate Bowie's performance into something fascinating to watch, and it's a delightful slice of the 80s music scene.
