Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

Dir. D.A. Pennebaker USA 100 min Not Rated

1973 Pennebaker Hegedus Films

This electrifying concert film from the director of DONT LOOK BACK captures David Bowie’s final performance as Ziggy Stardust in 1973 at London’s Hammersmith Odeon Theater. Framed by a smattering of behind-the-scenes footage, the bulk of the film concerns the actual concert, including songs like “Ziggy Stardust,” “Moonage Daydream,” “Changes,” and “Space Oddity,” as well as a cover of the Velvet Underground’s “White Light/White Heat.” Though a shortened version of the film was broadcast on television in 1974, the film did not receive a full theatrical release until 1983 and was never mastered to its full glory until 2003.
