Biography of New York painter Basquiat, who was discovered by Andy Warhol. David Bowie's Warhol has been called one of the truest Warhols ever to be shown in film.

A taboo-breaking film set in a Japanese prisoner's camp in the Pacific during WW II, about the relation between the camp's commander (Sakamoto) and one of the prisoners (Bowie). Beautiful acting (including a scene where Bowie sings horribly off-key) and a stunning climax (no, not giving that one away). The actors were hard-pressed during the shooting of this film, because Oshima preferred to shoot only one or two takes of every scene. Soundtrack provided by Sakamoto.

David's career-spanning performance on the Reality DVD is a historic piece right for any Bowie fan's collection. The lighting from the 2003 concert is simply spectacular, not to mention the sound on the 30 songs included on this disc. David is as young as ever sporting a stylish black jacket, t-shirt and Chuck Taylors. And yes, he's wearing pants. Watch him perform the classics like 'Ziggy Stardust' and 'All the Young Dudes' as well as his newer, more sophisticated pieces like 'Reality.' It's a beautiful spectacle of musical proportions.

This old-fashioned pirate film features:

- Graham Chapman, John Cleese, and Eric Idle (all from Monty Python)

- Cheech and Chong

And one scene featuring David Bowie.

 

David Bowie was having a holiday on a beach near the location where the film was shot, when he was suddenly approached by Eric Idle, asking him whether he would like to be in a pirate film.
