A retrospective look at Bowie's career focusing mainly on the period from the poorly received Tin Machine project through to his headline show at Glastonbury in 2000, his health problems and withdrawal from public life and his final album released just before his death in 2016. I've never understood the vitriolic response to Tin Machine, which deeply hurt Bowie according to accounts given in this documentary. He hadn't been happy with some of his 80s albums, feeling they were playing safe for a global audience rather than what he really wanted to do which was just be a guy in a band for a bit, so that's what he did and it felt like he had fun doing it.
