Performance (1970)
PERFORMANCE (1970) ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: Donald Cammel, Nicolas Roeg
James Fox, Mick Jagger, Anita Pallenberg,
Michele Breton, John Bindon, Stanley Meadows
A hippie-era period piece starring Mick Jagger as a reclusive musician and James Fox as a gangster looking for a place to hide out. Anita Pallenberg and Michele Breton play the birds they dally with. Plenty of style, and the twist at the end is a puzzler, but what any of it's supposed to signify, or why you're supposed to care, is a little obscure. Maybe mushrooms would help.
