You won't be disappointed. He's come full circle. and like Performance i think the world will have to catch up with it. I saw it in the Cannes market - and amazed it wasn't in official selection. I want the world to know about it! I can't get it out of my head - it's like seeing all his films, but none of his films. I met the writer outside the screening (weird), or at least he said he was the writer(!!!!). He said Roeg says it's his best film - and I have to say, it could be true, it's brilliant, a work of art. But it's strange, no one in Cannes talked about it. I met one critic who talked it down and he hadn't even seen it. Maybe it is another Performance - as you pointed out, they shelved that for two years before it became a classic. The maestro still struggling at eighty! What a world we live in...
