Starring Mick Jagger, James Fox, and Anita Pallenberg.

Has anyone else seen this? I watched it was the first time in years, and I was really blown away by it. I thought the cinemtography was very interesting, considering the second half of the film was mostly in one room. Jagger was excellent, as was James Fox.

What do you think?

I like all Nick Roeg's films,but Performance is my favourite.I was living in Notting Hill about the same time the film was made ,it captures the mood and place really well.The sound track is also good,I have the album somewhere.

Saw it *mumble* years ago, time for a re-queue. I remember the musical part with Mick in the suit.

Yes, the song was "Memo From Turner." It was written for the movie. Turner was the name of Mick's character. Keith Richards refused to play on it, because he was so mad about his girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg, doing the threesome scene with Mick and the French girl!
