Self Made Hero - Low - Bowie's Berlin Years

Reinhard Kleist - Low - Bowie's Berlin Years

1976

David Bowie has reached the height of his fame... and the low point of his substance abuse. Unhinged by the paranoia of stardom, he exchanges the frantic madness of Los Angeles for a more anonymous, drug-free existence in the divided city of Berlin. In a city where every road ends with a wall, he has never felt so free.

Reinhard Kleist's LOW, the sequel to his acclaimed STARMAN, vividly traces Bowie's friendship with his unlikely housemate Iggy Pop, their forays into West Berlin's revolutionary music scene and decadent club life, and the newly creative vision it inspired in them both. Taking us deep into Bowie's recording sessions at Hansa Studios, in the long shadow of the Berlin Wall, LOW further illuminates his relationship with the cabaret icon Romy Haag - and his fascination with Berlin itself as a city on the brink. Divided and haunted by Ziggy Stardust, Halloween Jack, and the Thin White Duke, now he can at last reunify himself... as David Bowie.
