Fox is a London gangster who runs afoul of his mates and must hide out in the home of reclusive musician Jagger and his groupies. The film jumps into the story (there's minimal plot) without any exposition, leading to confusion, and the rapid cutting doesn't help matters. Once Fox reaches Jagger's place, the pace slows down but little of interest happens to hold one's interest. With his effeminate looks, Jagger is an intriguing screen presence, but is given little to do other than look androgynous. Pallenberg, quite a beauty, plays a drugged out groupie. This is an exercise in indulgence for debuting directors Cammell (whose career went nowhere) and Roeg (who went on to make some notable films).
