520			_a"David Bowie, rock legend: a pop star whose work became synonymous with mask, mystery, sexual excess and ch-ch-ch-changing genres. Described as the most influential pop artist of the 20th century, Bowie also applied his genius to the craft of acting. His film characterisations and performance styles shift and reform as decoratively as his musical personas. For the first time, Bowie's considerable filmography is systematically examined. Classic films such as The Prestige and Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, cult hits Labyrinth and The Man Who Fell To Earth, as well as lesser-known roles in The Image, Christiane F. and Broadway hit The Elephant Man are viewed, not simply through the lens of Bowie's mega-stardom, but as the work of a serious actor with inimitable talent. Including tributes to Bowie's performance craft in other media forms this compelling analysis celebrates the risk-taking intelligence and bravura of David Bowie: actor, mime, mimic and icon."-- _cProvided by publisher.
