^ Unfortunately she talks more about her appearances on Circus with the Stars than about Nic Roeg

Just glanced at this thread and pretty much disagree with all of this from The Lex
lol of course Lex hated a movie about grieving parents

"Track 29" is showing at the local arthouse cinema next Friday. Worth watching?
― well bissogled trotters (Michael B), Tuesday, 27 March 2018 08:17 (six years ago) link
Rather you than me. Dennis Potter had lost it by this point and Gary Oldman has never had it.
― Buff Jeckley (Tom D.), Tuesday, 27 March 2018 09:05 (six years ago) link
looks like Track 29 is on FilmStruck. anyone seen it? is there anything past Insignificance worth checking out?
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 20:00 (six 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.
Saw a restored Blu of Bad Timing recently, never seen the film before.. wow that last 15 minutes or so is one nasty trick to play on your audience.

Where is Bad Timing out on blu? That’s one of my favorite movies
― flappy bird, Thursday, 12 April 2018 00:47 (six years ago) link
I've seen Track 29 but I too can remember almost nothing about it, which is probably not a good sign

Twitter suggesting he's passed on, hell of a streak in the 70s and early 80s.

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.
― Ashley Pomeroy, Saturday, 24 November 2018 15:41 (five years ago) link
and an intense crash zoom in there somewhere

time for me to revisit some of these. I still constantly confuse him with Ken Russell.
― akm, Sunday, 25 November 2018 16:18 (five years ago) link
here's how to unconfuse them: if the film is any good it's by nic roeg
― mark s, Sunday, 25 November 2018 16:33 (five years ago) link
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

They got Thompson on the job for the obit at S&S (nobody else was getting that gig) and its an almost exotic history of post-war Brit film.

Like many directors, he filled in time making commercials (including those tea-drinking chimps),
― Alba, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 07:19 (five years ago) link
This PG Tips titbit is massive news to me.
The S&S Roeg obit is by David Thompson with a p, not to be confused with David Thomson without a p, author of the Biographical Dictionary of Cinema.
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 07:25 (five years ago) link
Thanks Ward, I saw the 'p' and thought that wasn't how I recalled it but I was too lazy to google.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 07:58 (five years ago) link
The no-p one is not a fan of roeg iirc
― Pierrot with a thousand farces (wins), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 08:01 (five years ago) link
What is wrong with him?
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 08:06 (five years ago) link
I think Thomson thinks he Roeg was a cinematographer, not a director:
