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.
Featuring rare interviews with those who knew and worked alongside Bowie, as well as famous fans and figures who have been inspired by his artistry, the film will uncover the strategic brilliance behind Bowie’s artistic resurrection and the inexhaustible, extraordinary creativity that defined his final decade.
FilmmakerJonathan Stiasny is an RTS and Emmy-nominated producer and director. His credits include ‘Drive to Survive (Formula 1)’ (Netflix), ‘Twitter: Breaking the Bird’ (CNN / BBC),‘Fugitive: The Mystery of the Crypto Queen’ (Four) and the RTS-nominated ‘Cops Like Us’ (BBC).
“David Bowie’s final chapter wasn’t an ending — it was a resurrection. Our intention with this film was to explore an artist during at the most vulnerable and least examined moment period of his
career. By focusing on the wilderness years, his creative struggles, and the extraordinary discipline and imagination that led to Blackstar, we wanted to show Bowie as a human being confronting both the possibility of failure and of his own mortality with astonishing bravery. The more we spoke to those who knew and worked with him, the clearer it became that this was not simply the story of a comeback — it was the story of an artist transforming death itself into art.”
