Eureka
Leaving August 31
•
2h 9m
Directed by Nicolas Roeg • 1983 • United Kingdom, United States
Starring Gene Hackman, Theresa Russell, Rutger Hauer
A typically hallucinatory, fascinatingly fractured work of grandiose mythmaking from Nicolas Roeg, EUREKA was roundly ignored upon its release, but in its strangeness and sheer audacity it exerts an almost mystical, occult power. Gene Hackman stars as Jack McCann, who suddenly becomes the world’s wealthiest man when he strikes gold in the 1920s Yukon. Flash forward twenty years when McCann, now living in luxury on a Caribbean island, finds himself beset by sinister forces who covet not only his fortune but his very soul.
