16 October 2020Director Gabriel Range, a true fan of David Bowie, already author of a documentary on the singer, tells in

Stardust

the birth of the myth, the creation of the alter ego Ziggy, recalling the period of the release of The Man Who Sold The World , of an impromptu American tour, of confrontation with familiar demons.

An indie cinebiography comparable to Nico, Vox Lux, Velvet Goldmine, more than Rocket Man or Bohemian Rhapsody.

In the main role the actor and singer Johnny Flynn who remakes Bowie to perfection, rendering his fragility and indecision.

In search of his own definition, the future white duke questions the boundary between madness and art.



In

Supernova

there is a piece by Bowie, Heroes, and here too we talk about mental illness: the precocious dementia of one of the two protagonists, Stanley Tucci, who with his partner Colin Firth makes a trip in a camper, a bit like what happened in Ella & John - The Leisure Seeker of our Virzì.

How to live when you are about to die?

seems to be the question of the film whose narrative is never defined by the sexuality of its characters.

Harry Macqueen is the director, who comes from acting, from Eastenders, in his second try behind the camera. 



The third, very celebrated, British director on the bill on Friday at the Music Park is Steve McQueen, Oscar for 12 years a slave, revealed with Hunger and Shame.

Guest of a Close Encounter, the author presents

Small Ax

, an anthological series of five films set in London between the 1960s and 1980s.
