Unlike other Bowie documentaries I've seen, this one digs deep and interviews people who knew him from childhood and throughout his life. Apart from his relationships with Iman, his children, and personal secretary Corrine "Coco" Schwab, they explore every other aspect of his life. While there is plenty of the artistic hero worship you'd expect, it also reveals several of the people David Bowie used and betrayed with callous disregard. I once met the actress Candy Clark who starred with Bowie in the film "The Man Who Fell to Earth." When I asked her what it was like to work with him, she said "Isn't he weird?! Would you believe he didn't talk to me once during the whole filming?!" That was during his cocaine period that almost killed him. The film could have said a lot more about how Coco Schwab saved his life during that time and never left his side from then until his death.
