Product Description

Product Description

The true story of a man richer than Getty, stranger than Hughes...

SYNOPSIS:

One of the most revered figures in modern cinema; Nicolas Roeg's Eureka was barely released at the time of its making and overlooked by critics. Now, three decades later, it returns to reclaim a place among both the front ranks of Roeg's work and as one of the most extraordinary studio films of the 1980s.

Twenty years after uncovering an unimaginable bounty of gold in the Klondike, prospector Jack McCann, now settled in the Caribbean, finds both his wealth and soul at stake amongst a sinister web of nefarious influences, spiritual malaise and criminal elements.

A saga of almost cosmic proportions, headlined by an exceptional cast including Gene Hackman, Rutger Hauer, Theresa Russell, Mickey Rourke, Joe Pesci and Joe Spinell, Eureka is as powerfully acted, formally audacious, thematically layered and emotionally complex as any of Roeg's work. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the film in a Dual-Format special edition.

He found his fortune... but at what cost?

SPECIAL FEATURES including:

  • High-definition digital transfer
  • Subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
  • Audio recording of Q&A with Nicolas Roeg at the world premiere
  • Exclusive new interviews with producer Jeremy Thomas, writer Paul Mayersberg and editor Tony Lawson
  • Isolated music & effects track
  • Theatrical trailer
  • PLUS: A booklet featuring a new essay by Daniel Bird, a reprinted interview with Roeg, an excerpt from Roeg's autobiography and Robert W. Service's poem The Spell of the Yukon

Review

''A terrific cast (especially class act Hackman), some stunning imagery, and a story reeking with primal forces'' --Radio Times

''A strange, perverse film about passion and greed… a visual feast'' --Roger Ebert

5.0 out of 5 starsThe universal quest for ecstasy
By Film Buff on 1 Mar. 2016
What follows is a review of Optimum World's DVD version of Eureka. I thought I'd post it here as well because I want to give all the help I can to this Masters of Cinema release. Their track record for releasing classic films is second to none and this release is probably the best available version of a film which I love with a passion, but which many people just don't seem to know. Believe me, it is one of the very best metaphysical quests ever made...

=======================================================

Nicolas Roeg's Eureka (1983) is one of cinema's great unsung masterpieces. Its initial botched release was a classic case of Hollywood not understanding one of its own products combined with unfortunate bad timing. You would have thought United Artists would have learned a lesson from previous Roeg head-scratchers like Performance (1970), The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976) and Bad Timing (1980), but no. The studio was horrified by the complexity of what Roeg finally gave them. Furthermore, the film seemed to be an anti-capitalist (anti-American even) rant on the evils of amassing wealth at a time when Reagan and Thatcher were preaching `greed is good'. UA were in post-Heaven's Gate meltdown anyway and shelved the film, leaving it unreleased in the States except for a single print which was shown in a couple of cinemas. It finally limped out unheralded on VHS where it promptly vanished into obscurity. The film was released in the UK where it sank again. It was given a single airing on British TV in 1989 which is where I first encountered it. The viewing blew me away. Years later we finally have the film resplendent on DVD courtesy of Studio Canal. The print is exactly the same as the one shown on TV. The visuals (aspect ratio 1.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsEureka boasts a great across-the-boards cast
By lightfoot 2011 on 28 Feb. 2016
Seems the previous two reviewers have been watching a different film, or not watched it at all, judging by their one line responses. Eureka is an undertaking where the director has a vision and, against all odds, follows it through.The downside was the woeful distribution of the film on completion, resulting in lack of audience participation due to a delayed release and scant showings (it played in just two London cinemas); just goes to show that certain distribution companies are flummoxed when they have a unique picture to promote. Eureka boasts a great across-the-boards cast, with Gene Hackman giving his customary all in a driven and committed performance, ably supported by Theresa Russell, Rutger Hauer, Joe Pesci and in a minor role, Mickey Rourke. Director Nic Roeg's use of locations, his skill in cutting, the harnessing of atmosphere and the adroit use of music add up to an intriguing whole, loosely based on fact. It was made at the start of the 80's after an astonishing run of films by Roeg (Performance, co-directed, Walkabout, Don't Look Now, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Bad Timing). He was never to hit these heights again and was probably disillusioned after the mishandling of Eureka. It's an ambitious undertaking, the story embracing ambition, lust, jealousy, voodoo and mob violence, and if the ending seems ambivalent, it at least gives the viewer the opportunity to make their own mind up, and reminds us that filmmakers from that era took risks, respected their audiences intelligence and pushed the envelope of creativity.

'There will be blood' takes from some of the early scenes, but generally plods along about nothing very much.
