Lol, Nicholas Roeg is alive and working...

...last did an episode of Young Indiana Jones and before that a film in 2007 of Fay Weldon's Puffball, which I haven't seen. He hasn't had much acclaim since The Witches, which is a darned shame. He's gotta be pushing 80 but I bet he's never been fully defanged.

Nic would be the PERFECT director for anything involving the Stones, sex, drugs, obsession and male power. I saw Performance as a teen, in its US theatrical run, at an X-rated theater. I'd have to say it rearranged my level of cinematic sophistication by a magnitude of about 100. Changed the way I felt about and looked at movies forever. I realize Donald Cammell had a ton to do with that film, but Walkabout, Don't Look Now and The Man Who Fell To Earth were important landmarks in my film journey.

FWIW, I think Puffball would fit with the Don't Look Now and The Orhanage style psychological/occult thriller.
