David Bowie: The Stars (Are Out Tonight) (2013 Music Video)

Not a star-making performance

[4/10 · 10 August 2015]

I have to say this 6-minute video for David Bowie's "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" was merely an okay watch. Just like in other music videos with Marion Cotillard and Gary Oldman for example, he got help here from another Hollywood actor: Tilda Swinton. She plays Bowie's wife/lover whatever. There is some absurdity to this video, some erotic components and almost some horror-like sequence, just like you know it from Bowie's works. His music videos are usually fairly special. Sadly this one here directed by prolific music video maker Floria Sigismondi was more strange than memorable to me. That's why I cannot really recommend it, or only big fans of the artist should see it.
