The Sacred Triangle: Bowie, Iggy & Lou 1971-1973

They are rock legends now, during the years that this documentary focuses on the music world came very close to losing David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed forever. Label problems, personal problems, drug problems and just about every other problem a creative mind must face gathered above them like angry storm clouds ready to wash them down into the gutter. Somehow, they discovered each other and not only survived, but changed the music world forever. The archival interviews and concert footage are fantastic reminders of the men and their time. However, the endless barking of David’s ex-wife Angela almost ruins the film.
