<p>Welcome to <em>Highbrow Lowbrow</em>, the show where our podcast hosts Steve Powell and Dan Slattery pit high art against low culture.</p>
<p>In this episode dedicated to the work of Nicolas Roeg, we look at two films helmed by one of Britain’s most avant-garde directors.</p>
<p>Steve’s pick is <em>Eureka</em>, a big-budget disaster that nearly destroyed Roeg’s career when it was released. Steve argues that its arty mix of colonial-era murder mystery and Caribbean courtroom drama is an overlooked gem.</p>
<p>Dan’s choice is <em>Castaway</em>, in which Amanda Donohoe and Oliver Reed agree to spend a year living together on a deserted, tropical island. Will they survive the forces of nature and being in each other’s company for all that time?</p>
<p>We hope you enjoy our Nicolas Roeg choices, and as for which is best, as always, dear listener, the final decision is up to you. Beware spoilers, and enjoy the show...</p>
