This is Nicolas Roeg’s best film, and a unique standout in the history of cinema. It’s also the most effective combination of sci-fi and art film outside of the work Andrei Tarkovsky. The 138 minute uncut version is a bit slow in places, and the sexual content might be a little extreme for some. However, if you don’t watch this movie for those reasons, you are really depriving yourself of a special experience.
Update 5.5.26 – I just finished watching the excellent Criterion audio commentary with Bowie, Roeg and Buck Henry. The quality is amazing considering it was recorded in 1992. The commentary has a lot to say about art and really expanded my appreciation of the film. That extra is available to stream on The Criteron Channel as I write this (I bet you can grab a torrent of it too). Sadly their disc version is out of print.
Available on Blu-ray from Lion’s Gate.
