I've never seen this but heard it's a spectacular-looking dud but still have been keen on checking it out for years. I only heard of the VS 4K release after it had sold out in a few hours but the good news is that there's an Imprint 4K on the way (the bad news is that it'll probably be very expensive and full of paper stock so waiting for a barebones release is probably what I'll end up doing).Currently available [but out of stock at their website] director Michael Mann's cult classic THE KEEP [Native UHD4K from the OCN/HDR10/Dolby Vision/DTS~HD MA Stereo with music by Tangerine Dream]

Unfortunately, Mann's original cut of The Keep ran over 3 hours and the studio butchered it to death. How frustrating!
Cool. Hopefully these releases might fund a restoration of the whole she-bang! Might hold off the purchase.
Stranger things have happened but such a restoration would probably preclude the major expense in locating all the materials necessary [over 2 hours] to make it whole again
Jeffie, here's the blu~ray.com review. Although I'm a huge Bowie fanboy, I was less than thrilled with this doc. Better open it fast because a lot of AmazonUS reviewers said the Criterion disc is defective
Huh! I have the Criterion 4K disc and have watched the film (though not the bonuses) and mine seems fine!Jeffie, here's the blu~ray.com review.

I thought it was pretty good. It’s more akin to Koyaanisqatsi than a traditional documentary. Rather than nailing down specifics, it’s more of a kaleidoscope of images and performances and interviews from Bowie’s life, with the occasional song and/or interview snippet thrown in.
BTW, IT WIPED OUT MY LIFE'S SAVINGS ....BUT IF THE SHOE FITS ............
