David Bowie - Station To Station (Christiane F ) 1980 - new edit, remastered HD
You may already be familiar with this clip from the 1981 film ’Christiane F’, but this version is a new extended edit (more Bowie, less drugged up teenagers) and has a new improved soundtrack in an attempt to make a more self contained, stand alone version.
In the film, this scene shows the main character of the film, Christiane, attending a 70’s Bowie concert in Berlin with her friends. In reality Bowie filmed his part on a set in New York in 1980 , miming to an edited version of ’Station to Station’ from the ’Stage’ album. (At the time, he was appearing on Broadway in ’The Elephant Man’ and couldn’t fly to Berlin for filming).
In the movie, the performance footage then was edited with crowd scenes from an AC/DC stadium concert. The scene was intercut with plot elements consisting of teenagers smoking drugs and popping pills. One of the teenagers is then shown having a bad time of it sitting with his head in his hands with a contorted face.
All of this is fine in the context of the film. But I wanted to remove these distracting plot elements and make a video which would serve as a stand alone performance video as much as possible. To this end, I’ve re-edited the video to replace the drug taking scenes with more Bowie performance shots. (I’ve also removed a brief wide shot of AC/DC on stage which was in the original edit).
The soundtrack of the film version overdubs the song with a lot of newly added crowd noise. Again, fine for the film, but it sounds excessive when viewed as a stand alone video. So I’ve replaced it with the 2005 remastered version of the song from ’Stage’.
In the film the song fades off into the next scene. Here I’ve extended it and given it an actual ending.
I hope you like it.
