In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)
A drama directed by Nicolas Roeg, starring David Bowie.
David Bowie is a drunken alien. He's involved in a giant corporation and has a girlfriend. Sometimes he has visions of his home world.
The audio and video were both horrible.
Between glasses of Beefeater gin, a non-linear plot tries to develop and I would imagine that writing, planning and filming this went in the same manner. It would probably be best appreciated in a similar fashion. I'm rating it bad for poor quality and plotlessness.
