Feb 21, 2012 - One of the heaviest films I ever saw. Caught it for the first couple times at a midnight showing in Detroit; later, got my own video. Very deep, very creative, very dangerous. No one makes 'em like this.

speculativeboy Says:
Nov 7, 2011 - This is a truly underrated and amazing british film. Roeg for some unknown reason gets few plaudits, and yet with this, Bad Timing, Don't look know and the Man who fell to earth, made some of the best british cinema in the last forty years. The tragedy is that Cammell never got the chance to have this freedom again, men in suits writing checks won the day.

Jul 13, 2011 - in the film there is a scene when anita pallenberg is fixing james fox back and mick jagger plays a bluesy song on guitar while singing and periodically pausing to talk to anita and james. does anyone know if that song already exists he plays a cover or is it just a song for the film?
villiparis Says:
Jun 5, 2011 - It was actually made in 1968 but wasn't released until later because of censorship problems.
motioneccentrica Says:
Apr 8, 2011 - Just finished watchin, I cant fucking agree more, this film was sheer Experimental BALLS out creative geniousity. Yes I just coined that shit. I love how both halves play out like almost separate movies but still merge so easily into one consistent piece of art.
NutterCalledJinxie Says:
Mar 19, 2011 - Maybe you watched a different version? It was kept back from initial release because it made some film critic's wife vomit, so it might have been censored?
starlollie Says:
Mar 14, 2011 - Oh what the hell why was everyone always showing me crappy suposedly awesome movies when this existed??? I ony found out about this movie today.

Feb 8, 2011 - Mick looks uncannily like John Travolta in a pulp fiction kind of way in one of those scenes towards the end
