The Witches BTS5

Roeg, the fearless visionary

David Bowie once called him an “ancient wizard”, Art Garfunkel was driven to the brink of madness and violence and, according to Donald Sutherland, he was a “fearless visionary”. The British filmmaker Nicolas Roeg (1928-2018) continues to capture the imagination even today. Patrick Duynslaegher walks you through why Roeg remains one of Britain’s most fascinating directors ever. The text is exclusively in Dutch.
