Just finished mssrs Donald Cammell and Nicholas Roegs barmy, and uber-controversial (it reputedly made a Warner execs wife vomit in shock, which is surely worth a thousand Oscars...and the two years the film got shelved for), film debut, Performance. It remains alternately baffling and dazzling, with a dark heart lurking beneath what often feels like a curiously British send-up of Bergmans Persona. As far as film debuts go, this is super stuff. And this time round, rather than following the thread of Roeg, its time I finally check out the cabal of Cammell. And sure I could be obvious and post Jagger singing Memo from Turner, but what fun would that be?
