The festival kicks off with Nic Roeg's directorial debut, a brimful
collection of ideas about power, persuasion and performance ("The
only achievement that makes it, makes it all the way is madness.")
Opening as a gangster thriller, the film juggles visual and verbal
imagery and develops into a complex blurring of the divide between
reality and fantasy.
Critics
"Roeg's debut is a virtuoso juggling act." Time Out
