Ten years on from the release of his final album, Bowie: The Final Act charts the extraordinary final creative chapter of one of music’s most iconic and inventive artists.

From Rogan Productions, the team behind Freddie Mercury: The Final Act and ABBA: Against the Odds, this feature documentary explores how Bowie, ever the master of reinvention, transformed his confrontation with mortality into his final artistic statement.

The 1990s were a turbulent period for Bowie. Once hailed as the chameleon of pop, he found himself at odds with a changing industry: critics were scathing, and Bowie’s star seemed on the wane himself worried that he was no longer the draw he once was.

Yet out of that creative turbulence came a bold resurgence. Refusing to rest on past glories, Bowie pushed forward: conquering Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, confronting his roots in suburban South London, foreseeing the internet age, and ultimately producing Blackstar, his final masterpiece.

A documentary about music icon David Bowie is being shown at The Dukes.
