David Bowie has hooked up again with Italian film-maker Floria Sigismondi for the third track to be released from this year’s acclaimed comeback record The Next Day.
Roping in heavyweight thesps Gary Oldman and Marion Cotillard, the clip for the title track from his 24th studio album follows Sigismondi’s filmic piece for The Stars (Are Out Tonight) and is no less visually arresting with the French actress cast as a stigmatic. Watch below:
UPDATE: Youtube have removed the clip, presumably due to its religiously challenging and risque nature. It can still be viewed via Vevo below though:
