Sadly the great visionary of British cinema has passed on. Performance, Walkabout, Don’t Look Now, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Bad Timing, Eureka. Need I say more.
I first saw Don’t Look Now in about 1983. Once seen, never forgotten. I remember being shocked at the sex scene and the ending of the film has stayed with me ever since too. And the music – again I’ve never forgotten the haunting melody.
If he only made Don’t Look Now that would be enough to be remembered by. The fact he made other worthy films is a bonus, an embarrassment of riches.
I had no idea that his last film was made ten years ago (Puffball). I’ll have to seek it out.
