A
high-octane documentary on David Bowie has delighted fans at the Cannes Film Festival which is having a vintage year for music lovers.
"Moonage Daydream" by American documentary maker Brett Morgen is a tour de force through the daring creativity of the pop icon who influenced rock music like few others.
It is not the only music doc at the festival, which also premiered "Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind" about the legendary rock'n'roller.
The film was made by Ethan Coen, one half of the beloved Coen brothers film-making duo.
Both docs eschew expert talking heads in favour of a more immersive experience.
"I don't care what experts say," Coen told AFP at the festival.
