Anecdotes
The picture was temporarily scored with music from Pink Floyd's album "The Dark Side of the Moon".

Gaffes
When Mary-Lou takes Thomas to the hotel's fifth floor in the elevator instead of allowing him to use the stairs, she says, "It's five flights." This would be correct in the UK, but not in America; from the ground floor to the fifth floor of an American building is four flights.

Fantastic, severely under-rated film

This movie is definitely one of my favourites. First off, the acting is wonderful. David Bowie is awesome, I could not have imagined a better choice of actor. He plays his role to perfection and with just the right emotion. Candy Clark is also incredible in her role. Then comes the plot itself. Sure the plot is a little hard to follow but it is so brilliantly rendered and the cinematography is perfect. A very strong atmosphere and mood is created and the whole thing all together is just mind-blowing. Very original. Very artistic. Go see it if you haven't already.

I would also like to add that this cult science fiction film is however not for everyone. The way it was created and the way the scenes are shot resembles an experimental film. The style is also out of the ordinary and the plot may seem to be a little strange and confusing to some. Most people either love it or hate it.
