John Atom This was a first time watch for me, and like most of you, my reaction was sort of mixed. I liked it, overall, but my attraction to it was not as immediate as some of the other Nicholas Roeg films, like Walkabout. However, the soundtrack was unquestionably riveting, and so was Bowie's performance.Mike White Thanks for checking out the movie. And, as always, thanks for listening!
