SKINOPSIS

Rocker David Bowie plays an alien who lands on Earth in the decadent '70s, and promptly indulges himself in free sex. Plenty of female nudity (especially from Candy Clark), and sex scenes that are rumored to have not been simulated.
REVIEW
Bowie stars as the frail and mysterious visitor from another planet who unknowingly threatens American industry with his powers. A tremendously original sci-fi drama presented with the surreal and mind-boggling sensitivities of director Roeg.
