Performance
Director: Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg, Country: United Kingdom, Release: 1970, Runtime: 105m
Mick Jagger as Turner puts it so well: “The only performance that makes it, that really makes it, that makes it all the way, is the one that achieves madness.”
Who did what behind the camera? Neither Cammell nor his co-director Nicolas Roeg would ever tell, but Cammell has admitted that Anger and his cinema were major influences (Genet, Artaud and Borges weren’t far behind). The set of Performance was reportedly as combustive and fractured as the finished product, driving Jagger further into decadent superstardom and co-star James Fox away from acting and into the arms of evangelism for 10 years.
“The first time you see Performance,” wrote Chris Chang in Film Comment, “it is a shock to the system. It attacks mercilessly with a barrage of jaggedly discontinuous images and information...The veil of randomness parts and reveals obvious order, which, in turn, crumbles once you’ve grasped it.” Judged as “indescribably sleazy” by John Simon, one of the greatest films ever made by Paul Schrader, and the greatest British film ever made by Colin MacCabe. Let’s leave the last word to Marianne Faithfull: “A film that preserves a whole era under glass.”
