It's almost as if David Bowie has come back to life to narrate the movie "Moonage Daydream", a vivid collage of the music, art and ideas that make up his extraordinary legacy.

The director tells FRANCE 24's Eve Jackson how making the documentary saved his life and discusses his impressions of David Bowie when he met him in person.
