As a director, you possessed an epic elegance, creating characters and landscapes that entered the eyes and seeped straight to the heart.
Such excellence can be found in the revered Chariots of Fire, as well Fangio, Lost Angels, I Dreamed of Africa, The Journey Home, My Life So Far, Altamira, Midnight Express (as second-unit director) and (in conjunction with your angelic spouse, Maryam D'Abo), the profound documentary, Rupture: Living With My Broken Brain.
To Edgar Rice Burroughs fans, you bestowed one of the best ape-man movies ever forged, Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, with the amazing Christopher Lambert in the titular role.
And then there's your controversial Revolution, which may have stumbled upon its 1985 release, but over the years has been reanalyzed by those with a penchant for the American Revolutionary War. The 2009, "Revisited" edition rekindled interested further, thus giving this Al Pacino/Nastassja Kinski/Donald Sutherland effort far greater respect.
Your quiet yet energetic flair was unique yet universally appealing: the sort that gets better with each and every view. For this, you'll be dearly appreciated among aficionados of superior cinema for generations to come.
