The release is hybrid of documentary, music video film, and music video compilation. In this way it continues the lineage of several Bowie audio-visual formats: documentaries beginning with Cracked Actor (1975); music video films beginning with Love You till Tuesday (1969); and music video compilations beginning with Video EP (1983).
