Cinema Forum Groningen
Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN Groningen GroningenIn The Man Who Fell To Earth, starman David Bowie plays the extraterrestrial role he was born to play. Searching for water for a drying planet, an alien is shipwrecked on Earth.
To finance his return, he uses his advanced knowledge to build a technological business empire. Deception and seduction lurk around every corner. Director Nicolas Roeg builds on this premise to create a complex stack of allegories for trust, loneliness, lust and hope. Fifty years on, the film remains as elusive, mysterious, philosophical, breathtaking and meaningful as ever.
