Nicolas Roeg casts David Bowie as the ultimate outsider...
This week on Weirdhouse Cinema, we venture into our first David Bowie film as well as out first Nicolas Roeg film. It's 1976's The Man Who Fell to Earth: a beautiful, fractured and fascinating sci-fi exploration of loneliness, alcoholism, love, ambition and desire. Does it work better as a whole or as potent fragments in a larger mosaic? We discuss.
What's up next on Weirdhouse Cinema? I can say with 90 percent certainty that we'll be discussing 1965's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! In the meantime, be sure to check out the merch store and follow us on Letterboxd!
