The first collection dedicated to David Bowie's acting career shows
that his film characterisations and performance styles shift and
reform as decoratively as his musical personas. Though he was
described as the most influential pop artis of the 20th century,
whose work became synonymous with mask, mystery, sexual excess and
ch-ch-ch-changing genres, Bowie also applied his genius to the
craft of acting. Bowie's considerable filmography is systematically
examined in 12 scholarly essays that include tributes to Bowie's
performance craft in other media forms. Classic films such as The
Prestige and Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, cult hits Labyrinth and
The Man Who Fell To Earth, as well as lesser-known roles in The
Image, Christiane F. and Broadway hit The Elephant Man are viewed,
not simply through the lens of Bowie's mega-stardom, but as the
work of a serious actor with inimitable talent. This compelling
analysis celebrates the risk-taking intelligence and bravura of
David Bowie: actor, mime, mimic and icon.
