Performance

Writer Donald Cammell and cinematographer Nicolas Roeg made their directing debut with this groundbreaking experimental film. The world of gangster and a rock star collide when the former seeks refuge in the apartment of the latter where sparks fly and then some. Cammell and Roeg performed double duty bringing their respective experiences along for their directing debut. James Fox and Mick Jagger are perfectly cast as the opposites with memorable performances. The film also serves of a time capsule of the era it depicts. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
