1976 was a comparatively slow year for horror movies yet it contains some of the most popular titles of all time. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1976? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several shots of whisky and a 6 hour running time split over 4 episodes. This is 1976, A Year In Horror. 0.00 - Introduction12.45 - Sci-Fi Corner15.57 - Logan's Run (w/ Brix Smith)34.28 - The Worst 10 Horror Movies of 197642.44 - Also Rans (Part 1)44.58 - Kolchak: Crackle of Death (w/ Paul Terry)
Frank ist Schriftsteller, Produzent und Musiker. Sein bekanntestes Buch ist “Der Schwarm”. Das war ein krasser Welterfolg, der mit rund 4,5 Millionen Exemplaren verkauft wurde. Es folgten die Bestseller „Limit“ (2009), „Breaking News“ (2014) und „Die Tyrannei des Schmetterlings“ (2018). Nun ist gerade sein neues Buch “Helden” erschienen. Franks Bücher bestehen aus Fakten und Fiktion — eine Kombi, die unheimlich fesselnd ist. Und das habe ich selbst gemerkt: Eine Woche vor der Aufnahme kam sein Buch an und ich fragte mich, wie ich 1000 Seiten oder über 30 Hörbuchstunden denn bitte in dieser Zeit schaffen soll. Aber es ging, weil ich gar nicht mehr aufhören wollte. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Frank das erste Mal in seine eigenen Welten abzutauchen begann, wie so ein historischer Roman entsteht und über die generelle Macht von Geschichten. Außerdem machen wir einen Ausflug ins 13. Jahrhundert, denn da spielt sein neuer Roman „Helden“. Und das hat mir richtig Spaß gemacht, weil es eine schmutzige und hochinteressante Geschichtsstunde für mich war. Natürlich geht es aber auch darum, wie Frank tickt und um sein außergewöhnliches Leben, wir sprechen über das Gefühl, nicht dazuzugehören — und was aus diesem Gefühl alles entstehen kann.

Like Schwarzenegger after him, he just needed to find the role he was born to play. Following the career track of Nicholas Roeg, we come to one of his seminal films, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH. It's a head-scratcher and we say that with an understanding of Roeg's work being a little disjointed and a heavy use of visual metaphors and match cutting BUT... It would have been nice to get a better through-line in the story. But no one hates this movie at OTB HQ, certainly not when Rip Torn is tearing through this sexy sci-fi circus like a Professor Lothario!
Jean-Luc Godard returns to the podcast with a stylish and cunning exposé of modern French man. Or rather, a study of how women deal with the intransigent, petulant, sometimes comical, and always fragile masculinity of the perpetually dissatisfied narcissists that demand their attentions. Two such long-suffering women are played by Nathalie Baye and Isabelle Hubert as entirely pragmatic and fully self-aware Parisian women coping with the surprisingly similar needs of lovers, pimps, johns, and… cattle.

In this episode of The Writing Life, scriptwriters Stephen Keyworth and James McDermott discuss the craft and industry of writing for long-running radio or television serials, commonly known as soaps. Stephen Keyworth is an award-winning director and writer who has worked extensively as a director in theatre and written over 60 hours of television, film and radio. His doctors episode ‘The Joe Pasquale Problem' was shortlisted for the Writers Guild of Great Britain Awards, and his Radio 4 adaptation of The Man Who Fell To Earth can currently be heard on BBC Sounds. James McDermott is a writer based in East Anglia. He graduated from the University of East Anglia with an MA in Scriptwriting and First Class BA Honours in Scriptwriting and Performance. James has written multiple episodes of BBC One soap opera 'EastEnders' and plays for BBC Radio 4. His short films include 'Clause', which was nominated for Best East Anglian Film at Norwich Film Festival 2023. Together, they discuss their personal journeys into writing for soaps, the process of writing a script, and the power of humour in this kind of writing. They also touch on life as a freelance writer, the importance of structure in a writing routine, and what they were able to learn from watching the episodes they wrote for.
This episode is funny because we spend the first 3/4s of it talking about an incredibly interesting, strange, 70s film starring David Bowie at one of the peaks of his David Bowie-ness, and then also we mention that the movie kinda sucks. It's THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, with Rowan, Kev, Carli, and returning guest Jack McDonald! Assassination crash helmets! Too Many Televisions! Rip Torn's penis! This is a movie that has it all except connecting tissue, or any action scenes! It is certainly a movie!
In honour of Oppenheimer winning the Oscar for Best Picture, we're unlocking our July 26, 2023 premium episode about the film. Over 30% of Junk Filter episodes are available exclusively to patrons of the podcast: you can support the show directly and get every episode by going to patreon.com/junkfilter The film writer Corey Atad returns to the show for a deep dive into Christopher Nolan's historical epic Oppenheimer. Beyond a discussion of the film itself we review the several film formats Oppenheimer has been released in theatrically, take a look at how this movie reflects and departs from the source material (the biography American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer), and compare the film to its major stylistic influences, including Oliver Stone's JFK, There Will Be Blood and The Man Who Fell To Earth. We also discuss the Christopher Nolan redemption arc in general; how he uses the IMAX screen to create intimate horror, his fantastic cast of actors, the callbacks to his earlier works (Memento and even the Batman trilogy) and how some of the bozo decisions he often takes as a director somehow don't take away from this film's power.

Peter Sobczynski is back to talk the latest and greatest in physical media. They range from the highs of Steve McQueen's Small Axe series to the lows (in Peter's estimation) of Ruben Ostlund's latest. Indies you may have missed like Holy Spider and Return to Seoul. Both him and Erik Childress reflect on the world of one of television's greatest sitcoms as well as a new Jackie Chan collection and a 4K of sci-fi David Bowie. They also take an extended look at some oddball offerings from Kino including a 1980s film remembered (by Erik at least) for its use of blackjack and credit cards as well as a most unusual Dennis Hopper film starring Jodie Foster with plenty of behind-the-scenes drama and a lot of on-screen weirdness. 0:00 - Intro 1:21 - Criterion (Small Axe, Triangle of Sadness) 9:27 - Arrow Films (The Assassination Bureau, Lover's Lane) 18:07 - Warner Archive (Storm Warning) 21:16 - Sandpiper (Stanley and Iris, Kid Galahad) 27:20 - Mubi (Holy Spider) 29:33 - Sony (Return to Seoul) 31:15 - Paramount (Cheers: The Complete Series) 34:23 - Lions Gate (The Man Who Fell to Earth (4K)) 39:09 - Kino (The New Godfathers, Terminal Invasion, WHAAM!

A science fiction classic takes centre stage in this episode of STUDIOCANAL Presents – and we've got a very special guest to help dissect it. Simon is joined by the UK's favourite film critic, Mark Kermode, as they chat about Nicolas Roeg's 1976 classic The Man Who Fell To Earth. There's a fair bit of Don't Look Now chat as well, and an awful lot of the much-missed David Bowie. Plus, an odd moment where Cliff Richard and Birmingham hamburgers come into focus, a new recommended double bill, and latest news on upcoming STUDIOCANAL releases…

Patricio Urzúa acaba de lanzar un audiodrama inspirado en David Bowie, así que se junta con Villalobos a hablar de la vida y milagros del duque blanco.
Jan Freitag und Eric Leimann sprechen heute über die erste deutsche Serie von Paramount+: "Der Scheich", kreiert von Dani Levy. Verträgt das Fernsehjahr 2022 noch eine weitere Hochstapler-Geschichte oder braucht das Genre vielleicht sogar genau diese Serie? Ebenso könnte man fragen: Will man noch ein weiteres Fußballer-Biopic in diesem Jahr sehen und das auch noch über den "Kaiser" aka Franz Beckenbauer, in diesem Falle bei Sky? Nach so viel deutschen Betrügern und Lichtgestalten tauchen Jan und Eric im dritten Thema in ein sehr amerikanisches Feld ein: Gewalt, Religion und ihr Einfluss auf die Gesellschaft. Die Disney+ Serie "Mord im Auftrag Gottes" nach einem wahren Kriminalfall aus dem Jahr 1984 spielt in der Mormonen-Szene - immerhin die drittgrößte Glaubensgemeinschaft der USA. In den letzten Screenshots des Jahres geht es um den eklatanten Unterschied zwischen dem Kult-Science Fiction-Film "The Man Who Fell To Earth" mit David Bowie und der gleichnamigen Serien-Adaption 46 Jahre später bei Paramount+. Wir reden über die italienische Fußballgeschäft-Serie "The Great Game" (Sky) und den quasi-dokumentarischen Höhlenrettungs-Zweiteiler "Riesending - Jede Stunde zählt", den das Erste nach Weihnachten zeigt.
David Bizzaro has had a long and varied career in front of and behind the camera, but his newest role is Mochi on Netflix's Waffles and Mochi's Restaurant. Mochi is...well, a mochi. He talks a lot, but doesn't say words. He's a tiny pink ball. He's friends with Michelle Obama. This week, David shares his journey into puppetry, his family background raised by an immigrant mother, seeing neurodiversity on screen, and more -- through his shows, as well as The Man Who Fell to Earth and Andor.The Jordan has one quick thing about the return of Jennifer Lawrence (not that she ever really went anywhere!).***With Jordan Crucchiola and David Bizzaro
Episode Number 115: LABYRINTH (1986)It's a beloved '80s fantasy film on this week's edition of the show as we cover 1986's LABYRINTH, starring Jennifer Connelly (TOP GUN: MAVERICK, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM), David Bowie (THE HUNGER, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH), and directed by Jim Hanson (THE MUPPET MOVIE, THE DARK CRYSTAL). Is this one of the best fantasy films of the 1980s? Let us know what you think at chrisandchristalkmovies@gmail.comWelcome to Chris & Chris Talk Movies. In this podcast, life-long friends Chris Ferry and Chris Huddleston discuss Sci Fi movies (sometimes the best Sci Fi movies, sometimes not), horror movies (occasionally some of the all time best horror movies…often…not), a few of the very best action movies (I think you see where we're going with this), and genre films from their childhood and beyond in this laid-back, rambling, but inviting series!Rated PG for occasional mature language and alcohol consumption.

David Bowie is dying, and no-one knows it. No journalists, no fans. Just the chosen few. His wife. His grown-up son, his young daughter. A handful of others, all sworn to secrecy. And he's been rushing to get songs recorded, videos made, plays performed. Because his life's always been about reinvention, about creativity. About working out who you are, what you want to say. About control of image, and intent. All those wild incarnations – the costumes, the make-up, the poses. All those characters he becomes – Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke, the Man Who Fell To Earth. And now, he's releasing one more album. It's time for the final performance. The last great artistic move... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from a listener who asks why producers spend the money necessary to purchase established, science fiction intellectual property and then develop projects that have very little in common with that IP. Two examples include the recent FOUNDATION series (based on Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy) and THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (developed by Alex Kurtzman's Secret Hideout production company).This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 1, 2022 (Episode #35).
Both Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman are giants in our industry, and yet, they're the FIRST to admit that every project is a brand new journey filled with excitement, fear, beauty, panic, and a profound sense of mystery.

The Man Who Fell To Earth is a new science fiction series on SHOWTIME about aliens on earth.

It is not a remake, but a continuation based on the 1976 David Bowie film and 1963 novel by Walter Tevis. On Today's Episode, we discuss the history of the show and the plot to the pilot.

Richter Tell our listeners about yourselves and how you came to collaborate on the original Buckaroo Banzai. As I recall, the original script went through a number of forms.One of the elements I love about the movie and the novel are the constant callbacks - like an editor's note in a Marvel comic - was this a conscious decision to adopt a comic book convention?Were there any comics you were reading at the time?Against the World Crime League was originally teased at the end of the film. How has this story evolved from its original conception? And why was a novel the right medium?I have to ask about my favorite film, Big Trouble in Little China - Much like Buckaroo, Jack Burton has endured. What is it about these characters that connect with audiences all these years later?Without spoiling anything - things are looking pretty bleak for Buckaroo and the Hong Kong Cavaliers at the start of this book. Were these big changes always in the cards?The multiverse is hotter than ever right now, if you could have a Buckaroo crossover with any movie or comic book character, what would it be and why?Has Mike Richardson pitched you to open up a Buckaroo Banzai comic series?Are you reading or watching anything right now that you'd like to put on our listeners' radars?

Creem magazine writer Jeffrey Morgan returns to the show this week to unveil his very unusual NSTS skin vibration playlist. When I express my lack of understanding in his choices, Jeffrey uses the movie "The Man Who Fell To Earth" to explain. And it does make sense. Jeffrey and I also discuss his Van Halen Diver Down record review for Creem, with began with a warning that it was "an exceptionally vicious kick in the teeth to Van Halen fans everywhere". The band was not at all pleased about the scathing review, and Jeffrey contends that as a result, Van Halen recorded a much better follow-up with 1984. Can he prove it? Listen and find out.

The gang is back from a vaccination break spacier than ever. We explore the Trader Joe's mask experiment that Zea and Gibbs are running and ponder if vaccination badges need to be a thing. Gibbs has a Pokemon trade of deep regret that he needs to get off of his chest, while Izzy needs to unload about his superiority complex for his Sam's Club shopping. We wonder if everyone else has also gained pandemic pounds (...or COVID kilo's) since Izzy is starting his intermittent fasting, and speaking of dropping things, what's the deal with Captcha? Will we forever be doomed to prove our humanity by choosing pictures of sidewalks? And don't forget the most burning of questions - how fast can a Segway really go? The crew then talks about the 1976 film The Man Who Fell To Earth, where David Bowie "acts" as an alien (we know the truth). You're going to live this film if you are a Bowieber and you may hate this film if you are Izzy. Monty Noooo! (Video Here) Movie Review Timestamp: 20:09
Harrison began his career as a matte painter with Walt Disney Studios. One of the first films he worked on was The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976) starring David Bowie. He famously went on to join Industrial Light and Magic to create and produce matte paintings and visual effects for Star Wars (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980). He also worked subsequently as the Visual Effects Supervisor on Tron (1982) as well as later for Disney on Dick Tracy (1990). Harrison’s father also had a legendary career as a matte artist for Disney and the pair were nominated for an Academy Award for their work on The Black Hole (1979). His credits in visual effects span decades, including films such as Escape from L.A.

David Bowie, Musician And Trendsetter There is no doubt that among the history books holding the names of rock legends, the name of David Bowie is up there with the best of them. A man who doesn't just play the game by his own rules, but created the game itself and then ripped up the rules too. He took on the prescribed format of musical output in the early seventies and almost single handedly changed it forever. In this Bowie inspired Join Up Dots biography we take a look at how this unassuming man, born David Robert Jones in Brixton, South London on January 8th 1947, could at first struggle so badly to ignite the flame of success. Mimicking the stars of the day, and stars of yesterday, unable to find his real voice, until stumbling on the very thing that would make him who he is today And that thing was changes, the ability to reinvent himself, and freshen his sound, image and outlook at will, keeping all of us guessing as to his next move for the next forty years. David's start in life was about as normal as a child growing up in the United Kingdom in the 50's could have expected to live. His mother, Margaret Mary worked as a waitress, while his father, Haywood Stenton Jones, from Yorkshire, was a promotions officer for Barnardo's a children charity. Bowie attended Stockwell Infants School until he was six years old, where teachers considered him as a gifted and single-minded child, although not with obvious musical genius, and a singing voice only classed as adequate. When David Bowie was a small child he was fascinated by music, and loved nothing more than tuning into the radio stations of the day to hear the scratchy sounds from some distant DJ in a basement far far away like so many other children. But it was when he was thirteen, and encouraged by his older brother Terry, he picked up a saxophone and started making his own sounds that things started becoming more than a hobby. Terry was nine years older, and inspired and influenced the young David greatly, as most older brothers do, exposing him to literature, rock music and the kind of influences that a thirteen year old child growing up in South London would have been unlikely to discover on their own. David at first tried to teach himself the saxophone, but struggled with it, so made the bold decision to phone the top British saxophonist Ronnie Ross, who he had seen play in the West End of London, and asked for lessons. Ronnie charged David £2.00 per lesson, which was more than this soon to be wealthy practicing rock star could hope to afford. But this wouldn't deter, young Davy Jones, and he got himself a job as a butcher's delivery boy to ensure that he had the cash to allow the fortnightly lessons to occur. Unfortunately, although a major part of setting the fledgling rock star on his way to super stardom, with his encouragement and support, David's brother Terry was not to be in his day to day life for long. Suffering with his own personal demons, the family had Terry committed to an institution fearing for his safety. This no doubt had a huge impact on the young David Bowie, and although good in its intention haunted David for a good deal of his life, even becoming the topic of his song “Jump They Say” after Terry's suicide many years later. At the age of sixteen, David Bowie graduated from the technical high school he had attended in Bromley, only memorable for a fight he had with a school friend that left him with eyes different in colour to one another, and got his first job a commercial artist. He joined as a Junior Visualiser /Paste up Artist for the Yorkshire based company Neven D Hirst. This is a fascinating move for David to make, as although he was still playing for bands, and striving to break into music business in the evening, he still followed the path that most of us follow. He left school and set about getting a job. Is there anyway that we can break from the path that has been trod for generations before us? Even if we have greatness desperate to burst out from inside us?. Probably not, but as we see time and time again on Join Up Dots, the ability to keep on pushing against the rules of conformity is what allows the great to become great. Stopping ourselves from following the crowd, that leave school and enter the offices of the world just because they haven't stopped to question why? Well David, did just that and after only five months, knew in his heart of hearts that he had to take control of his life, if his dreams of working as a musician were to come true. The bands he had performed with every night had cemented the belief that he had what it took, not necessarily to achieve the dizzying heights that he later achieved, but at least earning money doing what he loved. Interestingly, crossing his path in these early days was another musician who would also go on to place his name indelibly in the record books, one Jimmy Page the guitarist of David Bowie's band the Manish Boys. Jimmy Paige of course become a global success with one of the most famous rock bands of all time Led Zeppelin. Several singles were recorded and released during this period, but none could have been classed as anything but a learning curve. Allowing the young Bowie to experience a recording studio for the first time and hear his own voice played back to him. Other than working with Jimmy Paige, the only dot on the Join Up Dots timelines that helps us to see the man that he later became, was when when he made the decision to change his name from Davy Jones, and replace his surname with the now recognizable Bowie, after the knife. Davy Jones from the Monkees was riding the crest of the wave, with hits such as “Last Train To Clarksville”, and “Daydream Believer”, and David felt that this could be confusing to the record buying public, and ultimately could hold him back. Did this make a huge difference, who can tell, but it was better than one of his other choices he made: Tom Jones. It was certainly the first indication of the chameleon like character that has since gone on to characterize so much of his later work. After recording, and performing with the bands, Bowie made the decision to go solo, and pursue a career on his own terms. He recorded his first solo album, which sunk without trace. This was a crushing blow for David Bowie, and instead of working harder on the content he was intent to keep delivering to the world, the musician did something quite unexpected…but quite David Bowie like. He decided to take a break from the music world, and headed to Scotland where for a period in 1967 he lived in a Buddhist monastery along with American musician Leonard Cohen. As he says “”I was a terribly earnest Buddhist at the time I had stayed in their monastery and was going through all their exams, and yet I had this feeling that it wasn't right for me. I suddenly realised how close it all was: another month and my head would have been shaved.” So David left, and then even more bizarrely joined a group of mime artists, even starting his own group called Feathers. Although this from the outside seems unusual, as we see on Join Up Dots everyday, a person has to try things that may not seem part of the master plan, to ultimately lead them to where they should be in life. It is during these times, when it may seem haphazard and wasteful that most people absorb different ways of operating. Discovering skills within themselves, that they can utilise later in positions not remotely visible at that time. And that is the case with David Bowie, as the added spirituality and theatricality become more evident in his work, as was displayed in his own classic song “Space Oddity” about a spaceman floating around about the earth. Thanks to the BBC's use of the song for their coverage of the US Moon landing in 1969, David Bowie had his first hit record. With the song hitting the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. What is extremely interesting is the state of mind of David Bowie at the time of writing. The words clearly show an individual lost, and forlorn about the future. No surprise after the failures of his previous musical efforts. “Planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do” – shows the realization that there's nothing he can do about all of the problems he sees in the world. “Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you hear me Major Tom? – He's lost communication with those on the ground (i.e. in reality). David Bowie showed a window to his soul. He was not part of his previous life of domesticity in Bromley, and was neither part of the rock star lifestyle that he so craved. Bowie was floating out in Space, on his own. Slowly getting ready for the true moment that David Bowie blasted into our consciousness, and the televisions and radios across the world. In 1973, the career that had stuttered and faltered for the last four years, exploded dramatically into life, as from that position floating above the world David returned to earth. This time not as himself, but the androgynous alien Ziggy Stardust. It signaled the start of the David Bowie fascination. Where was the man, and where was the music? Could one exist without the other? Was the high camp fashion that he displayed on stage the true mark of David Bowie, or a curtain to hide behind, whilst the crowds surged, screamed and fainted in front him. This was glam-rock at its peak, and quite literally anyone around at that time would be compared to the strutting, preening and bi-sexual pre-madonna that was 1973's incarnation of David Bowie. Even megastars such as T-Rex's Marc Bolan, the flamboyant pianist from Middlesex Elton John, and the upwardly climbing Freddie Mercury were nothing, compared to what the world was witnessing with his classic “Starman” and “Ziggy Stardust” David Bowie was no longer floating high above the world on his own. To the teenagers and music buying public, he was the world, and with his backing band The Spiders Of Mars, the world waited with baited breath to see what they would deliver next. And David Bowie delivered…but once again not in the way most expected, or wished for. Instead of setting off on a world-tour, and crushing the charts with new albums and singles, he announced that he was retiring from touring and that Ziggy Stardust and of course the Spiders were no more. As he announced whilst on stage “Of all the shows on the tour, this one will stay with us the longest because not only is this the last show of the tour, but it is the last show we will ever do.” This surprised everyone in the house – not least the members of his band. The hysteria was over almost as soon as it had started. Which looking back, was an amazingly brave decision to make, but one that showed that David Bowie was in control, and knew what was right for his career. Instead of saying “this is what you want, so this is what you'll get”, he quite firmly, and with huge confidence stated “You will get what I want, and when I want to give it to you!” This in no short measure ensured that the mystic that has grown up around David Bowie was started off in the perfect manner. He was not going to give an inch. And we are no doubt glad that he took that stance, as his music was becoming more creative and experimental because of it. He had created the freedom to explore what he was capable off. And so began his personal odyssey from country to country, city to city, playing and recording with such eclectic names as John Lennon, Brian Eno from Roxy Music and even Luther Vandross, It was whilst in New York jamming with John Lennon that the riff which became the iconic Fame was first heard, and led to David Bowie's first American number one. And his later move to Berlin in Germany, harnessed even greater creative imagery and unexpected musical releases with the classic stripped back “Low” and the Eno produced “Heroes”, made whilst he lived in semi seclusion, painting, studying art and recording with Brian Eno. “Heroes” was marketed by RCA with the catchphrase, “There's Old Wave. There's New Wave. And there's David Bowie…” which is very apt, and something that Bowie would have done well to remember in later years. It is true that Bowie likes nothing more than going in quite different directions than what the world expects. Throughout his career he has explored the world of acting from his early roles in “The Man Who Fell To Earth”, through to “Absolute Beginners And “Labyrinth” where he acted beside a series of Jim “The Muppet” Henson's creations, and even a three month run in the Elephant Man on Broadway. None of the roles or performances would be classed as landmarks in his career. In fact many would argue they were just a distraction to where he should have been placing his attention. On his music. The creativity being focused on areas of interest to David, more to his loyal followers. What becomes a truth with David Bowie, is when he appears to move towards the obvious routes to success, he becomes a pale inferior version of himself. Following the global success of the Nile Rodgers produced album “Lets Dance” in 1983, he appeared influenced by the Music of the time. And one thing for sure being in Duran Duran is never going to inspire the same level of performance as working the bars, and studying the architecture in Berlin or other such locations. David Bowie needs to be off the radar, to be truly authentic. He needs to be tapping into the yet to be seen musical movements, instead of being the leader of the popular and current ones. And so for the next few years David Bowie produced work that was neither memorable nor commercially successful in the same way as his earlier successes. He was falling further behind the crowd, and lost between the teenagers now grown up who adored him in the seventies, and the 80's versions focused on Wham, Duran, and Rick Astley. Throughout the next ten years, Bowie's musical career was in decline, with the albums Tin machine and Tin Machine II being commercial and public failures. David Bowie was finished. He had achieved everything that the 13 year old saxophone learning kid could have ever dreamed off and more. He had inspired the world to believe. He had created a new generation of musicians who studied his back catalogue with a religious fervor. He disappeared. Retreating from the limelight, he closed the door on his New York apartment and became David Jones again. Father, husband, music legend, and enjoying retirement. For over ten years, other than a few sightings David Bowie was invisible to the world. We had the memories of past glories and nothing else. But as we have seen throughout the years, Bowie returns stronger when on his own terms. When he is in control to what the world will receive. That is when he delivers, and in 2013 after ten years in the wilderness “The Next Day” David Bowie's 24th album shook the world. The Spaceman, the Clown, The Alien, The Smooth Groover, the enigma that is David Bowie was back where he belongs. In the ears, and stereos of the world. Saying things the way that only David Bowie can. A musician, a mystery, a creative, a leader, a decision maker, a controller, David Bowie has learnt through all the trials and tribulations, the ups and downs what leads to success. And that quite simply is being himself. A lesson that for so many of us is the hardest one to learn.
There is no doubt that among the history books holding the names of rock legends, the name of David Bowie is up there with the best of them. A man who doesn't just play the game by his own rules, but created the game itself and then ripped up the rules too.

Cinematographer Anthony Richmond worked alongside director Nicolas Roeg on Don’t Look Now (1973) and The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976). Don’t Look Now is an adaptation of the short story by Daphne du Maurier, and stars Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland as a married couple who travel to Venice only to haunted by the death of their recent daughter. It recently topped Time Out’s list of the 100 best British films and remains a remarkably atmospheric drama with its brilliant editing, memorable visuals and great use of wintry Italian locations. The Man Who Fell To Earth is a cult adaptation of the Walter Tevis novel about a mysterious man (David Bowie) who seemingly arrives from another planet and builds a vast business empire before becoming a recluse. An unusual and rewarding film, it has aged like a fine wine with its inventive approach to time and enduring exploration of the forces that shape modern society. Both films are getting re-releases on Blu-ray and I recently spoke to Anthony about his work on these seminal films of the 1970s.File Download (0:00 min / 9 MB)
