Synopsis
Performance is the cultiest and many say the greatest, of British films. Without doubt, it is the emblematic film of the 1960s--a peerless study of crime, class, sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. When East End gangster Chas (James Fox) is forced to go on the run he seeks refuge with retired rock star Turner (Mick Jagger) and the two lock horns in a mutual fascination fuelled by hallucinogenic drugs and the erotic allure of Turner's two live-in lovers.

From the Back Cover
Starring James Fox, Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg, "Performance" was made by Donald Cammell and Nicholas Roeg in 1968, but not released until 1970. When the studio backers saw the director's cut, they were so shocked by its sexual explicitness and formal radicalism that attempts were made to destroy the negative. Having conducted extensive interviews with surviving participants, Colin MacCabe presents in this book the definitive history of the making of "Performance", as well as a new interpretation of its consummate artistry.
About the Author
Donald Cammell was a society painter in London in the 1960s. Performance (1968) was his film directing debut. Colin MacCabe teaches at the University of Exeter and is the author of Performance, in the BFI Classic series.
