Eureka Trailer

Arctic prospector Jack McCann, after fifteen years of solitary searching, becomes one of the world's wealthiest men when he literally falls into a mountain of gold in 1925. Years later, in 1945, he lives in luxury on a Caribbean island that he owns. But his wealth brings him no peace of mind as he copes with Helen, his bored, alcoholic wife; Tracy, his dear, but headstrong, daughter who has married a dissolute, philandering social-climber; and Miami mobsters who want his island to build a casino. His life is entangled with the obsessions of those around him with greed, power, and debauchery against a background of occult symbolism.

Great, nutty, accomplished production with an almost brutal hallucinatory power at time - the trailer hints at the qualities of the film, but you have to watch it in its entirety to see where Roeg and his team take you. A Blu-Ray is reportedly out shortly in Australia.

The film is loosely based on the life (and death) of Harry Oakes for more info:

Jack McCann is the name given to the character to assuage the anger of the powerful Oakes family.

wow, love the human mess alternating with scenic nature. the idea seems roeg/hackman were going for the best movie ever made. Greed, roeg style.
