It’s easy to see why David Bowie took this as his first acting role — it’s got everything he loves. Aliens, sexuality, outsiders, etc. It also helps that he totally passes as an alien. I haven’t seen a Nicolas Roeg film before, and I really dug this. It felt free and open with all of its actors. Candy Clark was a little bit over the top to me that she starts to become like Courtney Love in THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLINT or Nancy Spungen. She also really sticks out. I watched this at 4:20 PM on 4/20/2020 and I enjoyed myself.
