Nitzsche, who died last year in Los Angeles, skipped across rock 'n' roll
history like a well-thrown stone. He was a hip arranger for Phil Spector, a
keyboardist for the Stones and Neil Young, and a partner with acts as varied
as English singer Graham Parker and L.A. punkers the Germs. He also was a
versatile film composer, scoring more than 40 soundtracks. Such maverick
directors as Milos Forman, William Friedkin, Ivan Passer, Paul Schrader and
Nicolas Roeg found in him a collaborator who could provide counterpoint to
their moody, atmospheric visions. Nitzsche is the subject of a
mini-retrospective next week at Walker Art Center. Roeg's ''Performance'' (8
p.m. Wed.) starred Mick Jagger as a burned-out rocker whose druggy,
orgiastic exile in a derelict mansion is interrupted by the arrival of a sadistic
mob enforcer in need of a hiding place. The film was a milestone in exploring
pop music's evil undertones at a time when most movies used it as a cue for
corny dance scenes. The score for Schrader's "Hardcore" (8 p.m. Thu.)
adds rattlesnake menace to the odyssey of a self-righteous businessman
(George C. Scott) searching L.A.'s porn industry for his runaway daughter.
Passer's lost gem "Cutter's Way" (8 p.m. next Fri.) involves a beach-bum
hustler (Jeff Bridges) and a Vietnam vet (John Heard) in a murder that might
involve a California tycoon. Neither the mystery nor the shifting loyalties of the
protagonists is easily resolved. (All shows free. 612-375-7622.) -- Colin
