Special 4K screening of the 50th anniversary of Nicolas Roeg's sci-fi classic starring David Bowie.
The Man Who Fell to Earth is coming to the Electric Palace on Sunday 15 November, a special 4K screening to mark the film's 50th anniversary. It's Nicolas Roeg's enigmatic sci-fi cult classic from 1976, and the one that made David Bowie a screen actor. He plays Jerome Newton, a stranded alien who turns his knowledge of advanced technology to his advantage on Earth while grappling with an unfamiliar culture and falling in love.
It's not just a Bowie vehicle, though. Candy Clark, Buck Henry and Rip Torn turn in pitch-perfect supporting performances in a work described as beautiful, bleak and essential viewing for Bowie fans. The film runs 139 minutes and carries an 18 rating, so it's a proper afternoon session rather than a quick trip to the cinema. It turns 50 this year, and the Electric Palace is marking the anniversary with this 4K print, which should give the whole thing a bit of a polish.
