**David Bowie首次擔綱演出的電影作品**

**1976年柏林電影節金熊獎提名**

乍看外表與旁人無異的Thomas，
事實上來自文明高度發展的遙遠行星，為挽救水源枯索的故鄉而來到地球。

透過手上持有的先進科技，Thomas很快成為企業鉅子，並暗中建造得以回運水源的飛行器。然而，一次與人類女子Mary-Lou的相遇，
卻使Thomas逐漸偏離原先的計畫、深陷於人類社會的世故羅網......。

改編自Walter Tevis的同名小說。
儘管有著諸多科幻元素，Nicolas Roeg卻選擇跳脫科幻電影的陳俗形式，

以鮮明飽滿的影像、延展角色的幽微心理，取代純粹的特效炫技；
而在科幻外衣之下，Nicolas Roeg真正意圖刻畫的，
實為感傷孤絕的現代性寓言。

Space alien (Bowie) crash lands on Earth,
seeking help for his drought-stricken planet. 

By securing patents to advanced technology,
he becomes a fabulously wealthy industrialist. 

However, money and its attendant decadence
ultimately exert a stronger gravitational pull. 

Bowie seemed perfectly cast as the space traveler,

and the film further cemented director Roeg's status
as one of the most unique filmmakers of the 1970's. 

Originally cut by 20 minutes in its 1976 US release,
this anniversary presentation is the complete version.
