A sort of 'Citizen Kane' on ice. Gene Hackman is (in flashback) a man who makes a fortune in Yukon gold, keeps a strange stone with a shape on it, and is finally beset by gangsters in the Caribbean. Sounds hard to follow? You've got it. But Nicolas Roeg's puzzle piece is also beautifully scored, skilfully shot and made deliberately in fragments, like the facets of a diamond showing a previous hidden face with a change of light.
