The Groundbreaking Director Nicolas Roeg0

Nicolas Roeg is a British film direc­tor known for break­ing the con­ven­tions of edit­ing and his abil­ity to use atmos­phere well, Roeg stretched the bound­aries of what could be done with film. He is famed for string­ing together dis­jointed sto­ries in which every­thing was semi-coherent until the very end, where a cru­cial piece of infor­ma­tion was given to help make sense of the story. He has a fore­bod­ing sense of atmos­phere that is still influ­enc­ing the direc­tors of today, and his orig­i­nal approach to edit­ing resulted in some of the most ground­break­ing sequences in film.
