Description
[Machine Translation] Winner of the 4th Saturn SF Film Award for Best Actor in 1976! Rock star David Bowie stars in his first science fiction film as a lonely alien who has landed on Earth. Nicolas Roeg, the master of "Beautiful Adventure" ('71) and "The Red Shadow" ('73), captured the beauty and fragility of Bowie and created this film with a sense of color that utilizes hard images and primary colors. Based on the novel by Walter Tevis of "The Hustler" ("The Hustler") ('61). Photography was by Anthony B. Richmond, who also worked with Roeg on "The Red Shadow" and later on "Gerace" ('79). Music was composed by John Phillips, a member of Mamas & Papas. The long-awaited 4K digital restoration master from the original camera negative is now available on Blu-ray. --A mysterious spaceship falls into a lake in the suburbs of New Mexico. A man (David Bowie) escapes and sells his ring to an antique dealer in the town, showing his British passport with the name "Thomas Jerome Newton" on it. Thomas then visits Oliver Farnsworth ( Buck Henry ), a patent lawyer. Thomas invents nine new patents that are beyond human knowledge, and introduces a series of products that use these new technologies. Their new company, World Enterprises, amassed an enormous fortune. After returning to New Mexico, Thomas faints in an elevator at the hotel where he is staying, and falls in love with Mary Lou (Candy Clark), an employee who takes care of him.
