About This Movie

In Stillness and in Silence (Sacred) is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of David Bowie as he reflects on Richard Devereux's art. The film has this meditative quality, with long, lingering shots that allow the viewer to absorb both Bowie's insights and the artwork’s subtleties. There’s a certain rawness to the footage, a feeling that captures the moment perfectly – almost like a conversation you accidentally stumbled into. The pacing is deliberate; it creates an atmosphere that encourages contemplation. It's not just about Bowie's star power, but the way he connects with the art, immersing you in his thoughts and the silence that surrounds them. This kind of film is rare, making it stand out in any serious collection.

This film has been somewhat elusive in the collector community, with limited distribution over the years. It’s mainly available in obscure formats, leading to a scarcity that adds to its allure. Collectors tend to seek it out not just for Bowie’s presence but for the unique intersection of art and commentary it presents. Given its rarity, it often turns up in niche auctions or specialized film fairs, making it a point of interest for serious aficionados of alternative cinema.
