The Man Who Fell To Earth (DVD, 2003)

If you are a David Bowie fan then this is a MUST HAVE movie. It is wonderful in every way possible. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

The poor acting along with the late 60' early 70' score prove to be too much to take. The overall premise is convoluted with the pacing of the movie (if you can call it pacing)and leaves a great deal for the viewer to speculate.

David Bowie is not the best actor in the world, but probably one of the most astute musicians who ever attempted the crossover to acting. He was at the height of his youth and prowess in this film. His technique could be construed as somewhat mechanical in the beginning of the film, but as the drama unfolds, he shows the full range of emotions without shortage of facial expressions to fill in the blanks. Director Nicholas Roeg is truly a visionary, able to meld the modern world with a visitor from another world (without many special effects). The kitsch and glam level in this movie is minimal, making it more believable, and the soundtrack with sprinklings of country Reeves, jazz fusion Yamashta, and others display the eclectic genius of musical director John Philips. The THX version of this movie is well worth any price. Candy Clark, Buck Henry and Bernie Casey ably round out the cast of this movie to make it a late century jewel you don't want to miss.
