Performance - Softcover
Performance is the 'cultiest', and many say the greatest, British film: a study of crime, class, sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, jointly directed by the formidable team of Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell. Colin MacCabe has edited this indispensable edition of Cammell's dark, exciting, esoteric screenplay. London gangster Chas Devlin is forced to go on the run when his taste for violence becomes a liability to his boss. He seeks refuge in the Notting Hill residence of retired rock star Turner, and the two men lock horns in a mutual fascination fuelled by hallucinogens and the erotic allure of Turner's live?in lovers

Review:
"Provides an incredibly well-researched insight into this film extaordinaire."--"Shattered
From the Back Cover:
Starring James Fox, Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg, "Performance" was made by Donald Cammell and Nicholas Roeg in 1968, but not released until 1970. When the studio backers saw the director's cut, they were so shocked by its sexual explicitness and formal radicalism that attempts were made to destroy the negative. Having conducted extensive interviews with surviving participants, Colin MacCabe presents in this book the definitive history of the making of "Performance", as well as a new interpretation of its consummate artistry.
