Despite its hypnotic presentation, Moonage Daydream is ultimately all flash and no depth. Disappointingly, it refuses to fully engage the entirety of its subject’s output, instead presenting retreads of footage and periods that have been extensively (and more definitively) covered elsewhere. The songs are transcendent, but the film is not. I viewed the entire film in 4K and then sampled numerous areas from the 1080p presentation. The 4K Blu-ray does not provide an option to view the film with HDR or Dolby Vision, but this is understandable given the nature of some of the content that was used in the film and how the 4K master was finalized. Moonage Soundscapes - in this program, Brett Morgen and recording mixers Davi Giammarco and Paul Massey discuss the construction of the soundscapes for Moonage Daydream. The program was produced in 2023. In English, not subtitled. (27 min). Trailer (02:07)– The film’s theatrical trailer gives a good sense of what the film itself is like. If it seems like the coolest thing ever, you’ll likely enjoy the film. If it seems incomprehensible and cluttered, you’ll likely feel the same way about the film itself.The spoken word audio and visuals rest of a bed of music that binds everything together. The sound design is incredible and with the help of Tony Visconti songs are often deconstructed and reconstructed during a sequence before morphing into something else. This provides a kaleidoscopic and sometimes disorienting experience. Morgen is clearly influenced by Bowie’s mid-seventies ‘cut-up’ lyric-writing techniques (a concept borrowed from William Burroughs) where he’d write lyrics and cut them up and jumble them about with the goal being to inspire new ideas. Morgen takes his cue from that and uses this non-linear technique visually, something Steven Soderbergh played with in his 1999 film The Limey. Commentary - this audio commentary was recorded by writer/director/producer/editor Brett Morgen in the spring of 2023.
