To make a biopic covering his early career seems a daunting prospect \u2013 to do it without the Bowie estate\u2019s consent and, thusly, none of his iconic music seems an impossible one. STARDUST isn\u2019t entirely without merit, but it lacks the cryptic charisma of its subject; something that might distract from a disjointed and inconsequential narrative.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The film is set in the aftermath of the 1970 release of <em>The Man Who Sold the World<\/em>. There is still the worry that Bowie (Johnny Flynn) is a one-hit-wonder after <em>Space Oddity<\/em> and the disturbing and obscure lyrics of the new music \u2013 particularly <em>All the Madmen<\/em> \u2013 are thought too dark for potential listeners, especially those in the USA. To raise his profile ahead of the US release, Bowie dispatches himself to America, where Ron Oberman (Marc Maron) is his only real cheerleader at the US label. Further complicating matters is a visa situation which prevents Bowie from actually performing for audiences. Throughout, as Bowie struggles to present himself to conservative US tastes, we see flashbacks of his relationship with his schizophrenic half-brother Terry and the influence it may have had on his music.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of Bowie\u2019s music for STARDUST is a significant hurdle, although not one that cannot be overcome. Johnny Flynn\u2019s performance is engaging, especially given the character is a pre-deification Bowie. His legendary status is not assured, reflected in Bowie\u2019s mannerisms and the reaction of those around him. However, Flynn\u2019s performance isn\u2019t strong enough to carry the rather more limp production around it.<\/p>\n<p>For a film about a figure so energising, the story feels dull and lifeless \u2013 dedicated to a perfunctory road <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> which proves inconsequential in the narrative. The film wants to present itself as a genesis story of the Ziggy Stardust persona, an identity which finally launched Bowie. A breakout which propelled both <em>The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars<\/em> and its predecessor <em>Hunky Dory<\/em> to the upper echelons of the album charts. However, the road trip itself does little illuminate Bowie\u2019s character, and the insight we do (allegedly) gain is via flashback, only tenuously linked to the film\u2019s present. Further, it is only in the film\u2019s closing movements, after the road trip, that the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> establishes an explicit link to Bowie\u2019s most famous musical persona. <\/p>\n<p>The driving force behind the misunderstood album is interpreted here as Bowie\u2019s relationship with his schizophrenic half-brother Terry Burns. The presentation of this is in the simplest terms (even if a post-concert flashback seems to come from a story Bowie himself told NME after the release of <em>Black Tie White Noise<\/em> in 1993). Terry will frequently show up and act disconcertingly, in a non-specific way, before the film swiftly moves back to the road trip. It would be tough to trace the thematic through-lines in any case, but the shallow and sparing portrayal scarcely draws them in the first place. Even iconic moments the film could have leant upon, such as Bowie\u2019s visit to Andy Warhol\u2019s Factory (and the subsequent filming of him miming) are glossed over. Even the presence of Marc Bolan is that of a semi-ludicrous glam rock spectre.<\/p>\n<p>Had the music been available to STARDUST, the accomplished production design could perhaps salvage something from the script alongside it. If the final scenes triumphantly reverberated with the opening riff of <em>Ziggy Stardust<\/em>, or somberly reflected on the lyrics of <em>Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll Suicide<\/em>, there would at least be a cathartic metamorphosis upon which to end. As it is, however, the story provides little insight into Bowie\u2019s psyche, style, or lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>A musician himself, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/johnny-flynn-says-bowie-biopic-stardust-is-potentially-going-to-get-a-lot-of-flak-2791462\">Johnny Flynn\u2019s quote<\/a> about a track he wrote for the production is sadly emblematic of the whole film: \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s crap, but I knew it didn\u2019t have to be a brilliant song\u201d. Indeed, STARDUST isn\u2019t terrible, but it doesn\u2019t seem to strive for much more than that.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stardust - Exclusive UK Trailer - Home Premiere 15th January\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RUtqbRKsmSM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n    <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
