Sci-Fi
An alien being travels to Earth in human form with a plan to bring water to his own dying planet. Once on Earth, the superintelligent space traveler begins making the social and financial climbs necessary for his plot to succeed. But he finds earthly pleasures far more enticing than he ever imagined and gradually slides into a life of shallow debauchery.

"The most intellectually provocative genre film of the 1970s" | POS |
United Kingdom |
|
"It’s ambitious, artful and unique. As for Bowie… what a star, man." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"Bowie, slender, elegant, remote, evokes this alien so successfully that one could say, without irony, this was a role he was born to play." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"Feels like a tedious historical artifact. It's a sci-fi 'Days of Wine and Roses' for the arthouse crowd." | NEG |
|
United Kingdom |
|
"A freaky, compelling concept album of a film (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)" | POS |

"Such a bold, imaginative work would never get made in today's fettered, cautious film industry, either here or in America" | POS |
|
United States |

"Nicolas Roeg's obfuscating style tricks it up, though the film is ultimately an empty thing." | NEU |
|
United States |
The Hollywood Reporter | "By turns, creepy and cheesy, literate and vapid." | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"Establishes [its] British director as one of the most talented and imaginative new filmmakers in this part of the world. It's a demanding effort which will provide a challenge." | POS |
