Review of The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976) by Anna B — 20 Jul 2014
Begins really well, and then slowly disintegrates as it goes along until by the final act it's become almost excruciatingly boring. It's far too long, the plot, which was pretty stupid to begin with, disappears halfway through and is replaced with endless scenes of people lying around doing nothing, Bowie doesn't so much act as pose for a series of photoshoots, the effects are abysmal, especially considering this is post-2001.
The man who fell appears to be Roeg himself, and it appears to happen over the course of this movie.
