Over deze film

Restored to mark the film's 40th anniversary. Thomas Jerome Newton (David Bowie) is a humanoid alien who comes to Earth from a distant planet on a mission to take water back to his home planet in the midst of a catastrophic drought. Featuring a startling and era-defining lead performance from David Bowie in his debut feature role, and based on the cult novel by Walter Tevis, The Man Who Fell to Earth endures, not only as a bitingly caustic indictment of the modern world, but also as a poignant commentary on the loneliness of the outsider.

... or you might say it's just a bad film. Badly written, acted, directed, edited with an awful soundtrack to boot. It would be completely unwatchable if it weren't for Bowie.

I've seen this movie before, Bowie is favourite. Thing with Bowie he wasn't easy to know and this movie needs to be watched several times, to get the plot. Like the SCI-FI and slightly nostalgic

My favourite film of all time! And you would have to be a fool not to love David Bowie!
