Watch: RadioSoulwax Presents Dave
...With its infinite corridors, exploding noir detectives and backwards clocks, the whole thing is feverishly dreamlike and distinctly Kafkaesque. “Dave”, the “original” Bowie, travels through time, finding and confronting his various selves, alter egos and personalities. With a repeated motif of selecting one of his ID’s, it’s a Bowie who is facing all of himself, in the words of Soulwax “changing whilst remaining himself”. It brings to mind Todd Heynes’ Dylan biopic ‘I’m Not There’; a complex homage to a many faceted musician. In both cases, the male lead is played by a woman – Cate Blanchett’s weirdly attractive Dylan is not far from Hannelore Knuts’ portrayal of Bowie’s fragile, cutting cheekbone androgyny. Both Dylan and Bowie are notoriously media-savvy, which allows these unconventional interpretations offer an unusually deep insight; a stylised version of the mysterious reality.»
