A rare opportunity to see a 35mm print of the original US release version that American audiences made a cult hit! Nicolas Roeg’s British science fiction film became a cult hit and made a film sensation of David Bowie, appearing here as The Man Who Fell to Earth in his first starring role alongside American actors Rip Torn, Candy Clark, Buck Henry and Bernie Casey.
“The most intellectually provocative genre film of the 1970s.” – Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out
“At the peak of his powers, Roeg directs with virtuosity and daring, juxtaposing imagery through elliptical editing to generate a transfixing film that largely fulfils its wild ambition.” – Film4
