David Bowie: The Last Five Years

The documentary explores the final five years of David Bowie's career, tracing his return from a long hiatus to create two new albums, The Next Day in 2013 and Blackstar in 2016, and the off-Broadway musical, Lazarus. The film's story begins in 2004, when Bowie suffered symptoms of a heart attack onstage in Germany, which ended his final world tour. The documentary uses unseen footage of Bowie, along with analysis and commentary from friends, colleagues, band members, designers, video directors, and the Lazarus creative team. The title is a nod to the Ziggy Stardust track "Five Years," which appears in a 1976 performance from The Dinah Shore Show.
