David Bowie, The Man Who Fell To Earth

The Man Who Fell To Earth is Nic Roeg’s science-fiction cult classic starring David Bowie. Crash landing on Earth from his dying planet, an alien humanoid traveling by the name of Thomas Jerome Newton uses his superior intelligence to build a vast business empire. As he takes on, and beats, every US corporation people can only guess his true purpose – to save his dying world from agonizing death by drought.

Newton’s ageless fall from grace, as he becomes prey to lust, alcohol, business rivals, and the US Government makes The Man Who Fell To Earth not only a bitingly caustic indictment of the modern world but also a poignant commentary on the loneliness of the outsider.

The release of this special edition DVD includes an exclusive new interview with Nic Roeg, Watching the Alien documentary feature and a theatrical trailer.

From the director of Performance and Don’t Look Now, this digitally restored Special Edition DVD is out on January 29th 2007.
