Bfi Roeg Retrospective Includes Tmwfte Screenings

You’re face to face, with the The Man Who Fell To Earth’s director…

The BFI in London salutes the work of Nicolas Roeg this month with an exhaustive retrospective at the NFT, which obviously includes screenings of The Man Who Fell To Earth.

The first of these takes place this Sunday (13th) with two further showings on the 22nd and 23rd.

Sadly, it seems the NFT may have underestimated the popularity of this film as it’s being shown in the rather intimate confines of screen 3.

This means that the screening on Tuesday March 22nd, which is being introduced by screenwriter Paul Mayersberg, pretty much sold out the moment it went on sale.

However, without wishing to gloat, if you managed to get a ticket, I’ll see you there.

The director himself has just given an interview to The Guardian, and though there’s little Bowie content in the piece, there is a cracking shot taken on set of Bowie and Roeg.

You can read the interview online here.

Finally, Nicolas Roeg himself will be appearing at the Borderlines film festival in Hereford in the UK on April 5th. That’s the day before the R2 BD release of The Man Who Fell To Earth, (03.07.2011 NEWS: TMWFTE REGION 2 BLU-RAY PUT BACK TO APRIL) but I bet you Roeg forgets to mention it.
