New Documentary 'Bowie In Berlin' Explores Star's Transformative Years
A new documentary, 'Bowie In Berlin', is set to delve into David Bowie's transformative years in the German city between 1976 and 1978. Directed by Francis Whately, the film promises rare insights into Bowie's life and work during this pivotal period, which saw the creation of the Berlin Trilogy and Iggy Pop's seminal solo albums.
The documentary will focus on Bowie's move to Berlin in 1976, driven by his desire to overcome a cocaine addiction and revitalise his career. During his time in the city, Bowie found inspiration and support from four women, who played significant roles in his life but remain unnamed in the current search results. Their stories, along with archival footage and rare interviews, will be featured in the film.
Bowie's Berlin years resulted in three iconic movies: 'Low', 'Heroes', and 'Lodger', collectively known as the Berlin Trilogy. These movies, produced by Tony Visconti, marked a departure from Bowie's earlier glam rock style and are considered among his most influential works. Additionally, Bowie's time in Berlin inspired Iggy Pop's first two solo albums, 'The Idiot' and 'Lust For Life', produced by Bowie himself.
'Bowie In Berlin' is executive produced by Louis Theroux and directed by Francis Whately, who has previously helmed other acclaimed Bowie documentaries. The film is set to premiere in 2026, following the BBC's announcement. Meanwhile, London's V&A East Storehouse has opened the David Bowie Centre, housing over 90,000 of Bowie's possessions. The centre features special curations from the likes of Nile Rodgers and The Last Dinner Party.
With 'Bowie In Berlin', fans can expect a comprehensive exploration of one of Bowie's most creative and transformative periods. The documentary promises to shed new light on Bowie's relationships, his artistic process, and the cultural impact of his Berlin years. The opening of the David Bowie Centre in London further cements Bowie's legacy and offers fans a chance to engage with his extensive collection of personal items and artifacts.
