The Man Who Fell to Earth

Screening on Film

Directed by Nicholas Roeg.
With David Bowie, Candy Clark, Rip Torn.
UK, 1976, 35mm, color, 139 min.

David Bowie stars in Nicholas Roeg’s melancholy fable of a shipwrecked alien who disguises himself as a human in order to find his way home to his wife and family. Adrift and lost on Earth, the lonely space traveler has little to protect him from the forces of capitalist materialism, the banality of a televisual society and panoptic government authority.
