This what they call a cult film,which sometimes mean that it is a film more talked about than actually watched.
I remember in the late 1970s trying to get my older brother to take me to a late night showing of this film and Gimme Shelter.
He refused to go and having seen both films since I think he was right,poor films.
So Performance,a film of 2 parts. The first half is fascinating gangster film,the second half is pompous and unfocused. The film is impressive at times but not a great film and certainly not a great British gangster fim.
I don't understand why some people say that Fox's performance is poor,to me it is the best thing about the film. But I am a huge Rolling Stones fan and gangster film fan so the film interests me. But for 1960s rock star acted madness I prefer Privilege. I am drinking hot chocolate as I write this.
