[tps_title]David Bowie [/tps_title]
Bowie has such a long and varied career that it’s been begging for a movie for decades. The question lingers, though–you can’t do it all in one movie, so it has to be a specific era. There are four in particular that could each make a good film–or perhaps a non-linear story like Todd Haynes’ “I’m Not There” was for Dylan: his mid 60’s struggle to become famous by any means pre-“Space Oddity,” the height of Ziggy Stardust mania, his Berlin period, and (in a surprise choice from my part) his work with the band Tin Machine in the early 90s, which isn’t considered to be a particularly shiny part of his career.
