Making his directorial debut 23 years after his entry into the film business, Roeg quickly became known for an idiosyncratic visual and narrative style, characterised by the use of disjointed and disorienting editing. For this reason, he is considered a highly influential filmmaker, cited as an inspiration by such directors as Steven Soderbergh, Christopher Nolan and Danny Boyle.
In 1999, the British Film Institute acknowledged Roeg's importance in the British film industry by naming ''Don't Look Now'' and ''Performance'' the 8th- and 48th-greatest British films of all time in its Top 100 British films poll. Provided by Wikipedia
