There is the possibility, first, of neglecting crucial aspects of the film simply because they do not conform to paradigms drawn from the philosophical text, and second, of ignoring important nuances of philosophical positions because they are not pertinent to one's reading of the film.
Eureka builds' its story on the conflicts that define Jack McCann, yet it dismantles' that scenario in a closing scene of the film where the screen is filled with images of the empty, snow-laden Yukon, and Jack is represented, as a trace, through his voice-over alone.
Eureka illustrates this point rather well, for one could argue that Jack is nothing without the gold which he searches for, and that to others he is nothing but the gold he has found.

Eureka deserves to stand proudly in such company, for Eureka is a film that is so human it makes most others seem either shallow, over-wrought, or just pretentious.
Eureka's plot is a simple, its action, dialog and soundtrack is sparse, camera movement is minimal.
As may be gathered, this film is very much about the aftermath of tragedy, about how certain experiences may mark one off from the rest of society, and how with silence, stillness and human company, and most importantly, the passing of time, some form of healing may be glimpsed.

 Eureka - a film by Nicolas Roeg - DVD
McKann’s famous (well, famous among that small coterie of Eureka fans) cry, “I never earned a nickel from another man’s sweat!” is a succinct summing up of the central delusion of any individual, group, or nation who see themselves as “self-made,” the sole authors of their achievements.
Eureka shows its roots in Performance -- a film in which the world of traditional criminal enterprise meets the world of psychedelic rock ‘n’ roll -- while branching out towards the inter-generational saga.
In short, this is a film that tries to do it all, and while it's safe to say that it falls short, it gets closer than all but a very few films ever have.

The film picks up their lives two years later, and we soon realize that the carnage of the opening has damaged them all.
Very little happens for much of the film - there are fifteen minute long stretches where no one really says or does anything - but the tension generated by that first scene pulses through even the quietest moments, lending them an air of impending violence and desperation.
Eureka is infinitely more challenging: what Sawai and the children have to overcome is their intimate knowledge of mortality itself.

EUREKA is, in my opinion, the best film of the three years it was distributed over.
There are some great Roegian moments in the film and the first half with Gene Hackman is compelling at times but as the film goes on it loses steam and just simply turns into a courtroom drama.
After this film his choices of material did not match his odd style and seem mostly like vehicles for Theresa Russell(it seems he was a better director BEFORE she came into the scene).

Lauded for its audacity and daring — the film won the FIPRESCI prize at the Cannes film festival — EUREKA is a three-and-a-half hour, devastatingly quiet study in the after-effects of trauma.
In part inspired by the 1995 sarin gas attacks in Tokyo, EUREKA is divided into two parts of equal length, or two “tome poems,” as the filmmaker has stated.
Through careful use of sound, silence, and atmospheric metaphor (unlike the ear-splitting tracks in some of Aoyama’s genre films), the filmmaker demonstrates both maturity and rebellion in his treatment of story structure.

 UGO.com Film/TV - EUReKA - Series Premiere Review
The fictional town of EUReKA was apparently created after WWII by general and former President Truman with the help of Albert Einstein and a few other advisors as a top-secret residential development to protect the most important minds in America.
Life in EUReKA still appears to be a bit off center, but nothing too outrageous, until one of the town's big brains creates what can only be described as a vortex that appears at random and consumes whatever it touches.
As the vortex's destructive power continues to intensify, Sheriff Cobb takes a turn for the worst while Jack meets the town's resident bed and breakfast owner, Beverly Barlow (Debrah Farentino), who's not quite what she appears to be.

 Eureka, by Shinji Aoyama, reviewed by Fred Camper, a movie review from the Chicago Reader
In part an action picture, a road movie, a whodunit, and a slasher film, Eureka is more deeply about the immeasurable and lasting damage suffered by those who experience senseless violence.
The next shot is an odd close-up of the cattle, roughly at their eye level; this is one of several moments in the film when some element of nature seems to be given a presence independent of the characters and their story.
He is seeking to forge a bond with them, and the relationship becomes central to the film and to all of their redemptions.

When I first tried the Eureka plugins I was working on a project for NFL Films, so all of the footage I had available was 16 mm film footage.
Eureka's Film Grain 1.2 plugin, when viewed at full opacity, looks like an impressionists' interpretation of a colorful group of angry fire ants.
Not unlike a roll of film that you use in your 35 mm still camera, the edge of the film has perforations that run the entire length of the strip.

 village voice > film > Eureka at the Loews State; Under the Sand by Amy Taubin
The fourth member of their company is the children's cousin (Yohichiroh Saitoh), who was sent by covetous relatives to keep an eye on the money, but is himself enough of an outsider (he's an Albert Ayler freak) to fall partly under the spell of this alternative family setup.
At this point, the film turns into a road movie that maps an inner journey where, to put it in Freudian terms, Eros and Thanatos fight for possession of the psyche, and, by implication, the future of the world.
What's so extraordinary about Eureka is that it makes one believe that intimate human connections are possible, that empathy is worth struggling for, and that propriety and hipster cynicism alike must fall by the wayside en route to unconditional love.

 Eureka
But Eureka is not this film, because Aoyama is too devoted to his characters to tie them to a narrative and let them get dragged along.
Eureka risks boring us almost constantly, but it never does because Aoyama's patience and devotion to his characters makes them seem so real to us and their experience so much our own-we're not listening to a story, we're experiencing one, so there's no question of our losing interest.
Eureka is a film about emotional healing, about emerging from a state of shock, but Aoyama has the maturity to acknowledge that this process is an excruciatingly slow, almost imperceptible one and that it will never be complete.

 FrontPage magazine.com :: A Filmmaker for Israel by Michael Margolies
The recipient of that award was the documentary film maker, Pierre Rehov, an Algerian-born French Jew, who won the Audience Choice People’s Award for his film “Fighting Shadows.” Certainly it wasn’t a surplus of pro-Israel sentiment that earned Rehov the distinction.
Rehov marshaled such compelling evidence against “Jenin Jenin” that his research and film were even used to support a successful lawsuit in the Israeli Supreme Court brought by five IDF reservists against Bakri.
Rehov’s decision to combine the two films into one for festivals was an inspired idea, if only to put side by side the story of how one country accepted its brethren, Israel, and 22 countries, sometimes referred to as the Arab Nation, rejected theirs.

For a work that demands so much from its sound and cinematography, the DVD transfer is thankfully faithful to the film.
The extras are in keeping with the minimalism of the film: a couple of filmographies for star Koji Yakusho and director Shinji Aoyoma, and some words from the director where he discusses his influences, the themes, and a little bit about working on the movie.
Nevertheless, it's the film you'll be captivated by in the end.
