About Nicholas Roeg

Nicolas Roeg has created some classics of modern cinema as well as inspiring several generations of world-class filmmakers by virtue of his poetic eye and iconoclastic approach to storytelling.

Danny Boyle considers Roeg to be as important as David Lean in the history of British cinema, and it’s impossible to keep track of the number of contemporary filmmakers who point to Don’t Look Now as among their key influences.

With Performance, Bad Timing, The Man Who Fell To Earth and Walkabout, Roeg cemented his place in the modernist canon - but his influence owes as much to his uncompromising approach as to the detail of his personal creative vision.

He never hesitates, he goes right into the heart of human nature - and it's painful, and it's brilliant... (Terry Gilliam)
