Another Roeg film suggested...yes, that is very charged isn't it...
Nic Roeg was very good at showing sex scenes without going all Hollywood on us... you know she's on top head thrown back covered in designer sweat... and he managed to get fantastic sexual performances/portrayals (!!!) out of his wife Theresa Russell in several films.
I really like her explanation, in the Marilyn Monroe role, of the Theory of Relativity, to Einstein using toy trains and watches in Insignificance.
Follow Ups:
Nic Roeg understands how to capture eroticism on film, as opposed to just a bunch of naked limbs, boobs & bumms thrashing around.I always found it...interesting...that Roeg & Russell were married. (BTW, if I were a guy I would find Mrs. Roeg erm, hot.)
Nice to find a fellow Roeg fan. A relatively small but fascinating list of films to his credit. Performance was one of the movies that twisted my head inside out waaaaay back in the day. It's still a favorite of mine despite its flaws.
What a film. Even if received wisdom is that Roeg might have been the junior partner in its making, it certainly became his style afterwards.
It turned round most of the cast and crew as well... or was that the drugs? Fox didn't make a film for years. Jagger took on the persona for years... kind if how Bowie took on the alien character from The Man Who Fell To Earth, not that they probably found it too difficult.
Do you know the story of Theresa Russell following Roeg to LOndon after first meeting him, agoing to his office, walking in and taking her coat off whilst wearing just about nothing under it?
And, yes, I have always found her... hot to say the least.
She has always seemed very real unlike some pumped up slimmed down stars.
Enough!!
