“A strange, perverse film about passion and greed…Roeg is a fascinating director…his films are a visual feast. Hackman is wonderful here, with the intensity of his obsessions, and Russell is brilliant.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“A harkback to the cosmic scale of The Man Who Fell to Earth, with enormous themes streaming through a strange tale…a great, Kane-like notion – the price we pay for gaining what we want – overflowing with awkward ideas and strange emotion.” – Time Out London
Directed by Nicolas Roeg (Don’t Look Now, Bad Timing), Eureka (1983) tells the tale of a Klondike prospector (the one and only Gene Hackman) who becomes the richest man in the world, only to find himself beset, classically, with terrible problems. These include a soul-destroying daughter (Theresa Russell) and a passel of schemers (Rutger Hauer, Joe Pesci, and Mickey Rourke among them) bent on stripping him of his fortune. A sensational film by a cinematic master – and ripe for rediscovery.
