Performance
"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.

This is one of may all time favorite films - and it's sort of 1968 in a nutshell. Donald Cammell never did anything better, and Nic Roeg's contribution can't be faulted. Mick Jagger is what we would like to think Mick Jagger as - and James Fox, is so underrated as an actor - why?
Nevertheless it's nice to read the script after seeing the film. It doesn't convey - of course- the entire film because there is so much visual things happening on the screen- that it really can't be read as a text. But it is something I go back to - to dig deeper into the film.
