(Variety) Filmmaker Nicolas Roeg will be awarded the Dilys Powell Award for Excellence in Film at the London Critics’ Circle Film Awards, which unspools Jan. 19.
Roeg, whose credits include “Performance,” “Don’t Look Now,” “The Witches” and “Walkabout,” will join the likes of Richard Attenborough, Judi Dench, Julie Walters and Quentin Tarantino, who have all be given the award in previous years.
Commenting on the award, Roeg said: “I’m sure the critics will understand when I say: On looking through and reading some of my old reviews, I’m torn between thanking you and forgiving you. But having slept on it, I’ll go with the positive and thank you…”
Nominations for the other awards will be announced on Dec. 20.
I love that, even in praise, he manages to give critics the middle finger. Something tells me Ken Russell would have done the same. 😀

Nothing disturbs me more than ‘Don’t Look Now’. Nothing.
That reward is well deserved.
