David Bowie (Johnny Flynn) went to America for the first time to promote his third album, “The Man Who Sold the World.” There, he embarked on a coast-to-coast publicity tour with his publicist from Mercury Records, Ron Oberman (Marc Maron), who has lined up press interviews and figured out how to sneak in some third-rate gigs. During this tour, Bowie came up with the idea of his iconic Ziggy Stardust character, inspired by artists like Iggy Pop and Lou Reed. With Jena Malone.
