Saw the restored Don't Look Now projected for the first time tonight (had seen it before on DVD). Just glanced at this thread and pretty much disagree with all of this from The Lex
saw don't look now last night. was massively disappointed, thought it was pretty bad ultimately. heavy-handed obvious symbolism, horribly shallow characterisation, reliant on a lot of dodgy all-foreigners-are-inherently-creepy assumptions (if you don't buy this the film falls apart really), a terrible ending (who was the woman in red in the end? utterly laughable) and no real plot to speak of
Biggest complaint is that for me the movie drags between Sutherland seeing Christie & The Sisters on the boat and him taking the blind sister back to hotel from the police station.

How was the arena Nic Roeg doc? (Catching up on various things at the mo. so need someone to tell me whether I should watch it ASAP)

The Man Who Fell To Earth sure is nuts--mostly in a good way, although I'd have been happy to lose half an hour, starting with the four or five most hysterical scenes. Best performance, Bowie. Nice to see Candy Clark--except for the two American Graffitis, I don't think I'd ever seen her in anything else. "Blue Bayou" scoops Lynch by a decade.

Definitely had the best line in the film--theater went crazy. I also thought the worst overacting came from him in the scenes with his students.
Wrong about Candy Clark--she's also in Zodiac (secretary at the Chronicle), and I would have seen her in the Big Sleep remake, too.

"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

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.

time for me to revisit some of these. I still constantly confuse him with Ken Russell.

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
