In early January 2017, I watched The Man Who Fell to Earth again, the first time in over 20 years. In 1989 or so, I stumbled across this strange gem of a movie, directed by Nicholas Roeg, and starring David Bowie in his first film role.

The first time I watched it, I just wasn't prepared. This was during a year or so after my father's death, but the film seemed to express the intense distance I then felt from the people around, when I just wanted to scream, don't you know who died?
 And, despite being an Alien, Bowie was so effing cool. 

After watching the film  a couple of weeks ago, I  had the unusual urge to listen to The Doors song, People Are Strange
