Eureka is our candidate for the single least appreciated film of all time.  This film, the crowning achievement of 1970s auteur Nicolas Roeg (Performance, The Man Who Fell to Earth), so baffled the powers that be at United Artists that they sat on it for years before finally deciding... not to release it!  With the exception of a single print, which showed briefly in NYC, LA and Toronto, it never saw the light of a North American movie projector bulb.  (It may have played Europe, however) It sat on the shelves for years more, before grudgingly being transferred to video, where it was released to zero fanfare and disappeared.  Now, at last it’s on DVD, and the story repeats itself.  The company that owns this film simply has no idea what it has. The film is, admittedly, extremely difficult to define and describe, but, hey, we’re going to try.  And yes, it wouldn’t be overly difficult to make the case that Roeg himself got lost while making it, but, y’know, we’re not.  Read our long description to see what lengths we will go to defend this film.
