David Bowie - The Next Day (MV starring Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard banned by YT)

[Shaun]

The Daily Mail reports that David Bowie was recently seen in New York filming a new music video for a track from The Next Day.

Bowie was apparently wearing "monk robes, flat shows, and a long brown scarf," while "many extras were wearing similar religious themed clothes," The Daily Mail writes. And it apparently stars British actor Gary Oldman, who was spotted "wearing priest clothing." Alleged photo documentation has been posted here.

[Smithy]

why'd they ban it

[Shaun]

it's a bar full of priests hitting on strippers, whilst one guy dressed as a nun whips himself, and Marion Cotillard is bleeding from her hands in the style of a crucifixion.

idk, there's nothing graphic or any real nudity (one girl has gold circles over her nipples). only logical explanation is the religious theme, in which case... youtube loses a lot of respect.

The ending <3

David Bowie's latest video, which stars Gary Oldman and Marion Cotillard, was temporarily pulled from YouTube over its graphic content.

The Next Day features heavy religious imagery, including Cotillard bleeding from stigmata marks.

YouTube admitted making the "wrong call" in removing the video, and reinstated it with an adult content warning.

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey has called the video "juvenile"

Lord Carey told The Telegraph: "If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery perhaps Christians should not worry too much at such an exploitation of religious imagery.

"I doubt that Bowie would have the courage to use Islamic imagery - I very much doubt it.

"Frankly, I don't get offended by such juvenilia - Christians should have the courage to rise above offensive language, although I hope Bowie will recognise that he may be upsetting some people."

The Next Day is taken from Bowie's comeback album of the same name.

The video sees Bowie performing in a basement bar, surrounded by religious figures, while Oldman, dressed as a priest, punches a beggar before dancing with a prostitute, played by Oscar-winner Cotillard.

A spokesman for YouTube said: "With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call. When it's brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it."

Bowie's last video, for The Stars (Are Out Tonight), featured another Oscar-winner, Tilda Swinton.

Oldman previously worked with Bowie in the 1990s, when they performed a duet on guitarist Reeves Gabrels' 1995 album The Sacred Squall of Now.

bib: no, i imagine you're more turned on by juvenilia :idc:
