Eureka (1983) – 40th anniversary

Hoezo in KINO

For its 40-year anniversary, IMAGINE brings you one of the most underrated features by Don’t Look Now director Nicolas Roeg. Gene Hackman, Rutger Hauer, Joe Pesci, Theresa Russell, and a young Mickey Rourke are some of the star-studded cast in this mysterious alchemical tale. With all the elements colliding into a perfect storm, Fire as the predominant one, Roeg mixes occultism, tarot, the Philosopher’s Stone, synchronicity, hermetic narration – which only he has the secret formula for – and with it creates an intoxicating cinematic maze. Much like the story of Faust, Eureka “is a cautionary tale about materialism, nature and violence.” English language with English subtitles.
