ohnny Flynn in a dress is the stuff that dreams are made of. Alas, he’s all dolled up with nowhere to go in this David Bowie biopic.
The focus is on a difficult year in Bowie’s life. In 1971, Davy Jones (Flynn) embarks on a doomed tour of the States, to promote The Man Who Sold the World. For various legal reasons, he’s not allowed to perform any of his songs. For so many other reasons too, he’s struggling to find his voice. Ron Oberman (Marc Maron), the middle-aged press officer schlepping Bowie around the country, senses that something’s wrong and encourages the young man to face his demons.
