Don’t Look Now (1973)
Mar 27, 2001Precognition

Nicolas Roeg
The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)
Jun 3, 2001Alienated Alien Visitor
Nicolas Roeg's film featuring David Bowie as an alienated alien visitor to Earth, a film that is equal amounts brilliance and pretentious distractions
Track 29 (1988)
Aug 29, 2001Surrealism
This collaboration between Nicolas Roeg and Dennis Potter results in a mind-boggling blurring of dream, reality, symbolism and sexual obsession. A name cast are allowed their heads and go wild
The Witches (1990)
Dec 16, 2003Evil Witches/Roald Dahl Adaptation
Nicolas Roeg and Jim Henson collaborate on an adaptation of a Roald Dahl book. Roeg leaves the grotesquerie and gleeful malice intact making this one of the best Dahl adaptations
Cold Heaven (1991)
Jul 15, 2024Mysterious Resurrection
Nicolas Roeg was one of the great directors of the 1970s, making works like Performance and Don’t Look Now. This was one of Roeg's last films where Mark Harmon is killed in an accident but makes a miraculous resurrection
Puffball (2007)
Aug 26, 2011Witchcraft and Pregnancy
Nicolas Roeg returns to screens after a long absence in what would be his last film, a Fay Weldon adaptation about pagan rites, pregnancy and witchcraft that manages to sound far wilder in synopsis than how Roeg directs it all on screen
