Nicolas Roeg is one of the most distinctive and influential
film-makers of his generation. The generation of film-makers who
define contemporary movie-making - Danny Boyle, Kevin Macdonald
(The Last King of Scotland), Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight),
James Marsh (Man on Wire), and Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's
Labyrinth), all acknowledge their debt to the work of Nicolas Roeg.
Roeg began as a cameraman, working for such masters as Francois
Truffaut and David Lean. His explosive debut as a director with
Performance, established an approach to film-making that was
unconventional and ever-changing, creating works such as Don't Look
Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Bad Timing, Insignificance, and,
more recently, Puffball. Having now reached eighty years of age,
Roeg has decided to pass on to the next generations, the wealth of
wisdom and experience he has garnered over fifty years of
film-making.

Farnsworth (Buck Henry) by creating revolutionary products. As

Thomas plans to use the profits to build a ship that will return
him to his home world. However, while he waits for his ship to be
ready, he begins to fall prey to earthly pleasures and failings.
