There may be a new Nicolas Roeg film.
http://www.pfafilms.com/inglese/nighttrainCast.htm

I have heard his name mentioned in connection with this film before
but perhaps it is actually happening.

The 1961-63 British TV series Ghost Squad was released on DVD in the UK
earlier this year. The first season of 13 was shot on 35mm film (the rest on
405-line video). For the record, the involvement of "Nick Roeg" (as he is
credited) is as follows:

Film Cameraman on twelve episodes - solo on "Hong Kong Story", "Bullet With
My Name on It", "Ticket for Blackmail", "Broken Doll", "High Wire", "Eyes of
the Bat", "Still Waters", "Catspaw", "The Green Shoes", "Princess",
co-credited with Reg Wyer on "Assassin" and "Million Dollar Ransom"

Camera operator on the remaining episode, "Death at a Distance".

The explicit scenes in Nicholas Roeg's new film feel passe - it's all
been done on the internet

The release today of the movie Puffball is timed to honour the
impending 80th birthday of its distinguished director, Nicholas Roeg.
But the screening date also marks another cinematic anniversary: it's
exactly 35 years since Roeg's masterpiece, Don't Look Now, introduced
what remains one of the most celebrated movie sex scenes: an extended,
fragmented, ecstatic encounter between a naked Julie Christie and
Donald Sutherland.

Don't Look Now and Puffball are both adapted from stories by novelists
resident in the West Country - Daphne du Maurier and Fay Weldon - but
are also connected by a desire to show sex in surprising ways. Whereas
the earlier film was pioneering in the length and intensity of its
bedroom scene, the couplings in Puffball are notable for their level
of biological candour. Cutaway shots show semen shooting towards a
womb, an internal shot of a penis entering a vagina and, externally,
the removal and discarding of a condom. Indeed, the abandoned
prophylactic goes beyond a prop to become almost a character, this
most disposable of items surviving to appear in several scenes.

These moments feel strongly like an attempt by the old Roeg to give
the sex scenes the kind of impact he achieved three-and-a-half decades
ago. But the journey between the two films shows the change in the
relationship between moviegoers and erotic material.

There has always been a close relationship between cinema and sex. In
more decorous decades it was the only place that unmarried couples
could hope to grope in the dark. And, even as picturehouses lost their
significance as a place to practise, they increased in importance as a
lecture hall for theory.

The early 70s was the period in which cinema pioneered soft-porn:
films such as Last Tango in Paris, Emanuelle and Bilitis challenged
censors and local authorities to admit to mainstream cinemas scenes of
a kind that had previously been restricted to basements subject to
busting by vice squads.

But, although Don't Look Now was inevitably clamped with an
X-certificate in those sensitive times, what's most interesting about
the Christie-Sutherland scene is the extent to which it stays within
the limits of the licit, both visually and in context. Part of the
remarkable charge of the sequence is that movie screwing is almost
always adulterous, but Don't Look Now showcases marital lovemaking.
And the arty composition - using reflections, quick cuts and a
time-slip trick in which the sex is interleaved with the couple
dressing afterwards - would make it frustrating for anyone hoping to
use the movie as a masturbatory aid. In an age of liberation, the
director still respects limitation.

In the decades between Don't Look Now and Puffball, cinematic
censorship has progressively relaxed until, recently, actual sex acts
have featured in the mainstream movies Nine Songs and Intimacy. The
gynaecological moments in Puffball are presumably Roeg's contribution
to this trend. Interestingly, though, perhaps reflecting the
generation of filmmakers to which Roeg belongs, the attitude to nudity
remains notably old-fashioned.

Kelly Reilly's naked breasts are prominently shown, but the penises of
the two men who feature in sex scenes are well-protected, except for
the phallus in the interior penetration scene, which presumably isn't
the actor's, unless Roeg had an unusually accommodating cast and very
swanky cameras.

He has, though, come to the party too late. An almost daily lesson of
our culture is the way in which the internet has transformed our
lives, to an extent which we have yet fully to assimilate. Among the
biggest victims of this competition has been the erotic power of
cinema. When Don't Look Now was released, the big screen was the only
place that people might expect to see sex scenes in which they were
not personally involved. Those requiring more explicit images had to
risk the less lit parts of cities or mail order firms on the continent.

Now, any act involving any actors - animal, child, living, dead - is
available online. Philip Larkin, a poet subsequently revealed to be
keen on porn, immortalised the view that "sexual intercourse began in
1963". But, for cinema at least, sexual intercourse ended in about
2005, when the most explicit images possible became as readily
available as television.

The career of Nicholas Roeg, from Don't Look Now to Puffball, is a
perfect graph of this process of sexual desensitisation. In a society
with the slogan Look Now, cinema is no longer the place that people
have to go for sex.

The Culture Show tonight at 11:20 PM on BBC2 includes an interview
with Nic Roeg. That is, if Wimbledon doesn't screw up all the scheduling!

I'm delighted this film is finally getting a cinema release.  I can't
wait to see it.

In the meantime there is an interview with Nic Roeg on teh Tuesday
24th edition of 'The Culture Show' (BBC2 - 22:00).  There is an
extended edition of the show on Thursday 26th June (BBC2 - 23:20)
although i'm not sure if the Roeg interview will be any longer.

Roeg-ish influence in Alex Frayne's MODERN LOVE....

NEW ZEALAND THEATRICAL REVIEW - by Graeme Tuckett, DOMINION POST, Wellington, NZ
Modern Love. Directed by Alex Frayne. Starring Mark Constable, Victoria Hill. M.
95 minutes. 4 stars Modern Love is a quietly brilliant and entirely unexpected
film. Here's a set up: John, a prosperous Adelaide businessman, inherits an old
fishing shack from his childhood mentor 'Old Tom'. Tom is dead -apparently- by
his own hand, and it falls to John to take over the house, put Tom's affairs in
order, and in doing so, revisit the past that he has kept from his own family.
John packs up his wife and young son, and drives them to the haunts of his
childhood. And there, things take a turn for the frankly terrifying. Modern Love
opens at a quiet pace. Details are slowly sketched in, a family dynamic is
convincingly teased out of some sparse dialogue and nicely underplayed lead
performances. Comparisons to Kubrick's The Shining - Jack Nicholson and family
driving into the mountains to winter over in an old hotel- are unavoidable and
probably intentional: We know that things will go terribly wrong, but we still
hope, somehow, that these likable people can avoid whatever it is that this
place, and their own pasts, have prepared for them. Its an old plot, but it
hasn't been done quite this well for decades. So if the pace of Modern Love's
first few scenes might seem a little sedentary, and if the film pretty much
demands that its audience sit up and pay attention, and even if director Alex
Frayne does occasionally wear his influences -Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Roeg and
Haneke at least I reckon- a little too proudly; then please: Take all of that as
a recommendation to go and see this disconcerting little slice of Aussie Gothic.
Modern Love is an audaciously impressive low-budget gem: beautifully shot,
stunningly sound tracked, and written with a gentle malevolence that'll stay
with you for days after watching it. Modern Love is the best thing playing in
town this week. No contest.

ACCENT UNDERGROUND are finally set to release the DVD of Alex Frayne's
Australian cult psychodrama MODERN LOVE. The release is slated for April 10, but
pre-orders will be taken in the lead-up. Supply is limited, but pre-orders
before April 10 will be guaranteed. Special extras includes 4 short films by the
director made in the mid-90's - ZOYD, THE ART OF TABLOID, THE LONGING, and the
sexual-sadist and rarely seen film DOCTOR BY DAY (1999). The DVD can be ordered

Mr Roeg's next Q&A seems not to be on the subject of 'Puffball' (maybe whilst
distribution in the UK remains vexed), but an interesting (and free) event
nonetheless. See

it's still called Puffball, the Devil's eyeball bit was added as an
AFC after thought, i assume - Devils eye ball is a colloquial
expression for a Puffball mushroom, as is the 'Devil's Snuff Box',
but as nicotine is as bad as crack these days i guess they were
scared off that title. Film is brilliant by the way.

blimey, a bad review in Variety! it must be worth watching. have you
read the reviews of Performance, Bad Timing, and Don't Look Now when
they first came out? Call yourself a Rogue fan!

I applaud you. how refreshing is that. I'm the same as you, the last
thing I want is someone else's opinion when I see a film by a great
director – incidentally, I've seen the film, I have an opinion and
I'm not going to give it you! (you must catch it, IFC video on demand
along with a Ken Loach Film and other really interesting festival
films shown last year – films the cinemas and boring distributors are
too boring to put on.  well done IFC!

hello again
   you are so lucky to have seen it already. i hope it gets released in the usa
at some point. i live here for now and really want to see it someday.  roeg has
been my favorite director for so many years and it would be such a shame if that
film doesnt get released. damn. another reason to move to europe.
   thanks very much for info
   Liz

Hi everyone,

I saw Puffball in Exeter when Roeg did a Q&A session (well introduced
the film anyway) at the local Picturehouse, unfortunately NR is
finding it difficult to secure a cinematic release for the film, a
lack of critical and commercial interest seemingly the issue.....

If NR decides to do another Q&A I will post to let you know date and
location etc
