A genius. His technique was so far ahead of its time. His influence must be more widely recognized!
i re-invent this director. first i watched the bad timing(1980) and art garfunkel's performance was unbelievable...then suddenly realized that the director loves to collaborate with rock stars...in "the man who fell to earth"(1976) with david bowie and in "performance"(1970) with mick jagger...
i love the directing but i think the editing of his movies much more effective than his cinematography.
Roeg is difficult to rank.. a mediocre film from him is still at least twice as interesting as most everything else of that given year.
Time to embark further into his filmography.
DON'T LOOK NOW = master class in mood, rhytm, cinematography, etc.
Very few people will ever realize how much he contributed to film and it's mechanics.
Eureka is another Roeg gem
