Personally, I think Two death are pretty decent film, definitely not among Roeg\’s masterpieces, but worth mentioning more than \”forgotten oddity\”
However, great article, thanks… don\’t you know anything about movie he is supposedly preparing \”Night Train\” with Sigourney Weraver ?

As someone who worked on Puffball, I hate that it turned out this way. I think it was a promising film butchered by poor editing, score and SFX. Oh well, que sera…

I agree it was pretty dreadful, but describing \”Puffball\” as a \”horror flick\” suggests the author didn\’t actually see it–it\’s got a supernatural aspect but is far from classifiable as horror, aiming more for whimsy than scares.

Love Don\’t Look Now and anything with the amazing Theresa Russell in it! She was one of the most underrated actresses ever. Her performance in Bad Timing is sublime, and in Insignificance beyond brilliant. No one has captured Marilyn Monroe\’s essence and spirit better that Ms Russell. God love her! And, of course, the brilliant tortured amazing Mr Roeg!

I kinda want to know more about the dodgy lost films, even the late 80s/90s ones…it\’d save us having to watch them, at least. But nice article. Eureka definitely sounds worth a watch.

I only remember watching \”The Witches\” when i was young and it scared the shit out of me.

This is one director I have yet to explore. This article does good in peaking my interest even more. Great stuff.

Brilliant director. Your being very kind with your description of \”Castaway\” as watchable, though.

Great, great write-up. Roeg is the film buff\’s most underrated filmaker par excellence.

Brilliant.

I had forgotten all about The Witches. Insignificance sounds brilliantly odd and anything that reminds me of \’symbols and signs\’ tends to give me a boner. Thanks

Great feature, well done all involved.
