Generallly speaking the style and cinematography of his films is uniformly excellent but I think his earlier works are the most notable and, as previously suggested, 'Walkabout' is probably his most essential piece of filmmaking. I also like 'Don't Look Now' quite a bit as well as 'Performance', which has garnered some discussion in this thread. I should note that your appreciation of that film will hinge on your general taste for psychedelic art-films of the early '70's, but it is definitely a master-work within it's respective genre. The film, 'Insignificance' is also a pretty interesting concept piece, although I wasn't entirely sure what I thought of it at first viewing. Reading the book "Illuminating Shadows" in which the author discussed this film, did get me to re-visit it as it was recently re-issued on DVD. That book is a very interesting read BTW in which the author traces the mythic properties and powers of select films. Do check it out if you have a chance. Some of his film choices are pretty surprising and his approach to film analysis is, at the very least, quite unique.
