Gary Oldman and Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard
have starring roles in the latest video from David Bowie.
The video is
for The Next Day, taken from his comeback album of the same name.
It depicts
Bowie as a messianic figure, dressed in a robe and fronting a band in a
basement bar.
Oldman plays a
priest who dances with Cotillard before she bleeds from stigmata marks on her
palms.
Bowie's last
video, for The Stars (Are Out Tonight), featured another Oscar-winner, Tilda
Swinton.
The new film
was directed by photographer Floria Sigismondi and features characters dressed
as clergymen amid heavy religious imagery.
As it ends with
the characters arranged in a tableau, Bowie says: "Thank you Gary, thank
you Marion, thank you everybody."
Oldman
previously worked with Bowie in the 1990s when they performed a duet on
guitarist Reeves Gabrels' 1995 album The Sacred Squall of Now.
