In underworld terms, Chas Devlin is a performer, a gangster with a talent for violence and intimidation. Turner is a reclusive rock superstar. When Chas and Turner meet, their worlds collide and the impact is both exotic and explosive. James Fox and Mick Jagger indelibly play Chas and Turner in this spellbinder of illusion and reality, decadence and decay. Fugitive Chas hides in Turners cavernous house. Events then spiral into an eerie breakdown of barriers and roles in which Chas sees his sense of reality vanish. And Turners experiment of sell-discovery leads to a shocking final performance of his own. Codirected by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg, Performance has become a modern movie legend. Experience it and understand why.
