THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH  (1976)  ¢ ¢ 1/2
    D: Nicolas Roeg
    David Bowie, Candy Clark,
    Rip Torn, Buck Henry
David Bowie and his languid narcissism take on the role of an extraterrestrial visitor in a cult oddity from cult oddity specialist Nicolas Roeg. Bowie's spectral presence is the main draw, but his remoteness, and the film's, could test your endurance as the running time edges toward two-and-a-half hours. It might be one of those movies that works better when mind-altering substances are involved. I watched it without them, so that's just a guess.
