To say that Jeremy Thomas was responsible for some of the most formative films I saw when I was younger is an understatement. He was directly responsible for helping shape my taste in films. I concur with the sentiment that he was one of the best to ever do it.

A quite frankly ridiculous collection of production credits for Roeg, Bertolucci, Cronenberg, and more.
Incredible. I was just watching an appreciation of Nagisa Oshima, and Jeremy Thomas helped him when he had his stroke in London. He came across as a really decent man, and the films he was involved in are some of my favourites of all time. A huge loss. RIP.

You could honestly call him the patron saint of Criterion’s MO

This was the trailer to a Quad Cinema retrospective held almost exactly three years ago. It coincided with the opening of Cousins's documentary on him, and Thomas even made a few appearances to discuss some of the films.
