Roeg is the trickster of time. He likes to take a story and shatter it into
fragments, splicing past and future, memory and desire, into the
ruptured flow of the present. His unstable, constantly shifting style
can give his films the appearance of puzzles, which only fall into place
when seen as a whole, and sometimes not even then. His peak came early,
with Performance, Walkabout and Don't Look Now - all made at a time when
plenty of audiences felt it was okay to have to work at a film. Since then,
he's fallen along with attention-spans, but his influence can be
traced in such unlikely places as MTV and Dogme95.
