Performance

1969, 105m, 35mm, UK

When worlds collide: fugitive cockney mob enforcer James Fox goes to ground as lodger at the ramshackle house of rock star in retreat Mick Jagger. In a circumscribed psycho-sexual realm that would become co-director (and cameraman) Roeg’s prime cinematic locus, the psyches of these two “performers” dissolve in a haze of sex-and-drug mindgames. A fascinating, cryptic, and enduring cult classic.
