The Man Who Fell to Earth The Man Who Fell to Earth

Director: Nicolas Roeg

Year: 1976

Crash-landing on Earth from his dying planet, an alien humanoid travelling by the name of Thomas Jerome Newton (David Bowie) 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. A science-fiction cult classic. Official Selection Berlinale 2016 - Berlinale Special – Tribute to David Bowie
