A landmark sci-fi film starring David Bowie, captured in a richly illustrated TASCHEN edition featuring rare behind-the-scenes photography.
Nicolas Roeg’s 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth redefined science fiction with its hallucinatory visuals and haunting exploration of alienation and identity. Based on Walter Tevis’s novel, it stars David Bowie in his acclaimed lead role debut as Thomas Jerome Newton, an enigmatic alien searching for water on Earth.
As Newton rises to wealth, falls in love and struggles with his true identity, Roeg draws unforgettable performances from Bowie, Candy Clark, Rip Torn and Buck Henry.
Featuring a wealth of film stills and behind-the-scenes photographs by unit photographer David James, this TASCHEN edition captures Bowie at his most otherworldly. An insightful introductory essay, informed by an exclusive interview with James, explores the making of this iconic sci-fi masterpiece and its enduring legacy.
