performance (1970)


"I am a bullet."
Chas (James Fox), a violent East London gangster in the employ of Harry Flowers (Johnny Shannon). He ends up on the run, needing a place to lie low, when he kills someone he shouldn't have. He finds the perfect hideout when he comes across the home of reclusive rockstar Turner (Mick Jagger). But as the time passes he and Turner perform a bizzare cat and mouse game...
What starts as a straight up gangster flick quickly becomes a bizzare, drug fuelled journey into the mind of two men. Sat on by Warner Bros. for two years before release, as they perplexed over what the film was about, this is one hell of a trip.
