Nicolas Roeg’s bold sci-fi allegory marked the feature film debut of rock icon David Bowie in a role that seemed tailor-made for the sleek, androgynous pop futurism the star embodied in the early 1970s, just a few years after he shed his Ziggy Stardust persona. An alien who arrives on Earth in search of water for his drought-ridden planet, Bowie’s Thomas Jerome Newton sets the stage for a visually audacious and formally adventurous examination of alienation in modern American life. As Newton begins patenting and peddling his world’s advanced technology in a bid to make the money needed to transport water back to his home planet, he becomes an unlikely high-tech entrepreneur, successfully concealing his alienness behind a very human façade. But he is slowly driven to distraction by his success, not to mention TV, sex and alcohol. Complimented by stellar supporting turns from Candy Clark, Buck Henry and Rip Torn, Bowie’s performance contributed to what is now considered one of the defining sci-fi films of the 20th century. 50 years later, and 10 years after Bowie’s death in 2016, Roeg’s hallucinatory vision continues to evoke something that resonates across the decades — a planet more disconnected and disconcerting than anything in outer space.
