The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)
Language: English.
Directed by Nicolas Roeg
This is the first film I saw that could be described as "strange" and I loved it. It felt like a film a lot of people wouldn't enjoy which gave it an exclusive appeal, a cult film I suppose. David Bowie is so… David Bowie. — Bill
