David Bowie / Cracked Actor A Film About David Bowie BBC 1975

The BBC-produced documentary "Cracked Actor," including live footage from the 1974 US tour, is now available in a DVD + Blu-ray special edition! In addition to the latest HD remastered stereo and the original version, this is the definitive video item with live archive recordings! The BBC-produced documentary "Cracked Actor: A Film About David Bowie," which captures David Bowie from the 1974 "Diamond Dogs" North American tour to the production of "Young Americans," is now available in a DVD + Blu-ray special edition! "Cracked Actor," a valuable video documentary that was broadcast on BBC TV in 1975 and has been sealed for a long time, is included in two versions: the widescreen version broadcast in 2013 and the original TV broadcast version. This must-see documentary features rare live footage from the 1974 US tour, which was a hot topic for its elaborate stage set and theatrical stage development, but was forced to be changed midway through, as well as interviews and fan behavior from that time. You can get a glimpse of the unique stage direction, such as "Cracked Actor," a skit-style performance with a skull in one hand, "Space Oddity," where the band floats in the air while sitting on a chair, and "Time," where the band sings with a giant palm covered with light bulbs. The widescreen version rebroadcast in 2013 was trimmed and edited for a 16:9 widescreen and upconverted to HD quality, with an introduction by director Alan Yentob at the beginning. The newly remastered footage is the original TV broadcast monaural sound source, but this version is a unique updated version that has been replaced with the original sound source from AI stereo remastering. In particular, the sound quality improvement due to the stereoization of the live scenes is different from previous versions. In addition, the original TV broadcast version that was broadcast at the time is also included in the second half. The original version is an unedited version that includes the top and bottom parts that were cut by trimming in the widescreen version in a standard 4:3 screen as it was broadcast on TV at the time. This original version has been released on video many times in the past, but the quality has deteriorated. This recording is the first time that it has been released in HD quality, which has never been seen before, and the precious original version with a field of view not seen in the widescreen version is recorded in the highest quality. The coupling Blu-ray disc (BDR) includes the two main versions as well as the "Live 1974 Video Archives" that were not included on the DVD. Although the two versions of "Cracked Actor" were originally TV footage from the 1970s, the image quality has been significantly improved by HD upconversion, which can be clearly seen on the Blu-ray playback more than on the DVD recording. And the "Live 1974 Video Archives" includes rare excavated footage of "Can You Hear Me" and "Rock 'n' Roll With Me," which were released exclusively on the Blu-ray version of the "Live 1974" DVD version on the same label, as well as the restored version of "The Jean Genie," which is being recorded for the first time. The Blu-ray version includes over 160 minutes of footage, including the main documentary. This DVD + Blu-ray 2-disc special edition is a must-have for collectors, as it is a rare video record of Bowie in the mid-70s! The latest HD remastered AI stereo edited widescreen version and the precious original version are included on DVD. The Blu-ray includes two versions of the documentary, as well as live archive footage including rare footage that was only released for a limited time.
