Nicolas Roeg
3 titles · british contemporary
Roeg was a cinematographer, and he edited his films so that time slips: memories, premonitions and the future cut into the present. In Walkabout, two siblings stranded in the Australian outback are guided by an Aboriginal boy. Don't Look Now sends a grieving couple to Venice, where an elderly psychic says she sees their dead daughter. The Man Who Fell to Earth casts David Bowie as an alien looking for water to save his planet.
