In the ’80s and ’90s he took a bit of a nosedive, artistically speaking, with “Bad Timing,” “Eureka,” and “Insignificance” the latter of which was a questionable, light-hearted Albert Einstein movie. Those three failures basically doomed him in the industry, especially with producers tightening the noose on directors more and more after the ’70s maverick era, to the point where it was practically impossible for Roeg to continue making the live-wire risk-takers of the 70s. Although, his 1990 adaptation of Roal Dahl’s “The Witches” has gained a small cult-following over the years. Regardless, his legacy was built, and will remain intact, for the body of work he created between the years 1970-1976.
