Never have I seen two less charismatic, less talented lead actors in a movie. David Bowie and Candy Clark are simply unwatchable. This long, boring film makes little sense. Even Nicolas Roeg's renowned eye for cinematography is lifeless. To spice things up, he throws in some gratuitous sex and nudity, which falls flat (in more ways than one). And how about watching the leading lady pee in her pants at the sight of Bowie's alien getup? Can't fathom why this film has its share of devotees. It's an utter embarrassment and complete waste of time. Of note is Stomu Yamashta's brief musical score, some of which was later used in Paul Mazursky's 1982 film "Tempest."
