**Walkabout** - Nicolas Roeg

Two city-bred siblings are stranded in the Australian Outback, where they learn to survive with the aid of an Aboriginal boy on his "walkabout": a ritual separation from his tribe.

Such breathtakingly pretty music exists as a delivery system for lyrics so hilariously mean-spirited they’d make #RandyNewman blush. You can get a sense of O’Rourke’s emotional disposition from the album’s packaging. #Insignificance is named after a movie by the disorienting British filmmaker #NicolasRoeg. Like #Eureka, it has unettling cover art by Japanese comic artist #MimiyoTomozawa. https://www.stereogum.com/2167529/jim-orourke-insignificance-turns-20/reviews/the-anniversary/

“Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
(Yes Yes) Track 29!
Boy you can give me a shine
(Can you afford to board, the Chattanooga Choo Choo?)”

Track 29 (#NicolasRoeg, 1988), written by #DennisPotter and based on his #play Schmoedipus, and produced by #GeorgeHarrison's HandMade Films. A young man (very fresh-faced Gary Oldman) who suddenly appears in a middle-aged woman's (Roeg regular Theresa Russell) life may be the son she gave once gave up for adoption. Of course, tensions ensue, not in the least caused by husband Christopher Lloyd's vast model train collection.

THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (1976)

@BBC6MusicBot Great video too - a big sloppy wet kiss for #NicolasRoeg.

Nicolas Roeg's Bad Timing (1980), from an era when movie-makers were not afraid of unsettling subject matter. It begins with a woman being rushed to hospital after an overdose.

Tthe events of that fateful night are slowly revealed. Timing is the key.

A movie that shocks us not with explicit sex or violence but instead with its willingness to explore the darker recesses of the human psyche. Brilliant disturbing film.
