{"product_id":"i-m-not-a-film-star","title":"I’m Not a Film Star","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first collection dedicated to David Bowie's acting career shows that his film characterisations and performance styles shift and reform as decoratively as his musical personas. Though he was described as the most influential pop artist of the 20th century, whose work became synonymous with mask, mystery, sexual excess and ch-ch-ch-changing genres, Bowie also applied his genius to the craft of acting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBowie’s considerable filmography is systematically examined in 12 scholarly essays that include tributes to Bowie's performance craft in other media forms. Classic films such as\u003ci\u003e The Prestige \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMerry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence,\u003c\/i\u003e cult hits \u003ci\u003eLabyrinth\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Fell To Earth, \u003c\/i\u003eas well as lesser-known roles in \u003ci\u003eThe Image\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChristiane F.\u003c\/i\u003e and Broadway hit \u003ci\u003eThe Elephant Man \u003c\/i\u003eare viewed, not simply through the lens of Bowie’s mega-stardom, but as the work of a serious actor with inimitable talent. This compelling analysis celebrates the risk-taking intelligence and bravura of David Bowie: actor, mime, mimic and icon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54254810399064,"sku":"9781501368684","price":122.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781501368684_47e109f1-c3f9-463c-a325-f6c97a2b6e6c.jpg?v=1770286538","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/i-m-not-a-film-star","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
