Review of The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976) by Jim H — 04 Nov 2007
Awww, what a bummer. Staring at the cover of Low, I thought, "Man, if The Man Who Fell To Earth is anything like this album, it's gotta be the greatest movie of all time". Well, unfortunately, if it had been like the album, it probably would have been much better.
The music felt completely out of place and the character's were mostly devoid of any real emotional motivations. Mary-lou is the exception, but she was damn annoying!!. Roeg is a master of subtelty and implication and I can fault his filmmaking, but I just didn't care about Thomes Jerome Newton at the end of the day and that's there is too it.
