that David Bowie was a complete artist. In addition to his brilliant music career, he also starred in numerous film roles, such as the protagonist in The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), the Goblin King in Labyrinth (1986), and even playing Nikola Tesla in a cameo in The Prestige (2006).
Among the extensive list is the forgotten film The Perfect Gigolo (1978), which will be released for the first time in the United Kingdom. The remastered edition comes with a 54-page booklet detailing the film's behind-the-scenes aspects and will be available on Blu-Ray from August 16th.
The official synopsis of the film, a period drama, reads: “ Paul von Przygodski (David Bowie), a young Prussian gentleman, arrives in the trenches in time to witness the final explosion of the First World War. After recovering in a military hospital, where he is mistaken for a French hero, he returns to Berlin. His family home has been turned into a boarding house, his father ( Rudolf Schündler ) is paralyzed, and his mother ( Maria Schell ) is working in Turkish bathhouses.”
"Trying to find a new purpose, his childhood friend, Cilly ( Sydne Rome ), abandons him for fame and fortune; his former commander, Captain Kraft ( David Hemmings ), tries to persuade him to join his right-wing movement; and a widow, Helga von Kaiserling ( Kim Novak ), briefly seduces him with life's finest pleasures." The film is now available for pre-order . Watch the trailer:
