an alledgedly 'rare' interview with el roeg. i interviewed him about a year ago. because of an old story about ian penman, i was quite daunted, but we didn't get drunk and it was okay. however, i found it difficult to talk about the 60s, the crowd he moved in, and donald cammell.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Monday, 12 December 2005 13:00 (eighteen years ago) link
I remember little about it beyond a lot of overt eccentricity but an interesting piece I came across at the time (when I watching all of his films in a row) argued how T29 was postmodern whereas Roeg’s normal mode is modernist.

The bit with the sisters laughing when they're on their own in Don't Look Now has haunted me like very few movie images. I still don't know why they're laughing. Not sure i want to.

If real life was a Nicolas Roeg film, the next scene would begin with Nicolas Roeg waking up - then cut to a car passing by a phone box - then cut to the sun setting - then cut to Nicolas Roeg waking up again but with the sound of a car crash.

accurate xxp thanks wins im gonna look for a copy later. If it’s based on the script it must be pretty different from the movie, since it was never conceived or shot as a non linear story if you can believe it

as I long suspected, Insignificance isn't very good.
bcz of his history w/ the real Marilyn, Tony Curtis is extra creepy in his scenes with T Russell.
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 February 2019 02:35 (five years ago) link
Insignificance blows. Theresa Russell's Marilyn is terrible. Don't know why it's not lumped in with the rest of his spotty & weightless 80s work - I prefer Track 29. Eureka is the end of his imperial phase even if it is too long. But the drop-off from Bad Timing to Insignificance to Track 29 is staggering.
