Performance (1970)

[zappahart]

i would never piss anita off....the stories i've read!!!

[fireupthequatrobolly]

so beautiful

[madahad9]

I love this movie. Nicholas Roeg is one of the few directors who can be rightfully called visionary. Even when his films were told in that fractured non linear style they were not at all imcomprehensible----just a little frusrating but in a good way that stimulates the mind instead of just being a passive viewer.

[squashedtomato]

Funny you're all arguing about Brian Jones...I mght say he really was very cool in his day he was the premier rock star of the era that everyone wanted to be like...so I guess he had to go eh?! the character of Turner is based mostly on Brian this film is actualy what he was like they say...he really did haunt them..its even got his lover in it. So there you go.

[loveablemeggy]

anita pallenberg as the great tyrant/ the black queen of sogo,damn,she was definitely smoking hot in that movie!(barbarella,if some of you dont know what im talking about)

[ThePanzerfist44]

@loveablemeggy - hello pretty, pretty

[Noodles37UK]

1968. I was born the year I wrote the script.

[loveablemeggy]

@Noodles37UK wrote the script? for real??? or am i just gullible

[Noodles37UK]

@loveablemeggy Gullible enough to ask me lol

[loveablemeggy]

@Noodles37UK touche lol

[zappahart]

can u believe anita and brian would beat the hell out of each other!!!! most of the time anita would beat brian jones up!!!

[toby099]

@zappahart

brian was a emotional, somewhat girly man, doesnt surprise me, everyone treated him like shit though!

[zappahart]

@toby099 did you read keefs book? there is alot of good brian stuff in it . also did you see the brian movie i forget what it is called also i dont know what is true what is false but it is a pretty good picture. i dont think it is a british film

[kentucy9999]

@zappahart Brian beat the shit out of Anita. Keith was living with the two of them at the time {off and on.} Eventually she fell into Keith. Brian was the original "leader" of Stones not that he was the "general" or anything but he was the leader. He became very involved in drugs and less effective as a musician and weaker as a person. Though a precocious muscian Brian was not a song writer and I'm sure this bothered him as did Mick and Keiths success. Anita was beautiful but also ravenous.

[zappahart]

@kentucy9999 it is a good story to read but i wouldn't want to actually live that life! i'm 44 now maybe it would be different in my early 20's i think it was kind of the same for my finances without the woman beating!

[custer1968]

"I'm sick of beans!"...hahahah

[beAloneonTheStreet]

anita was gorgeous and fucking cool...she is amazing

[ironbuttermilk]

I was just watching an interview of one of the young girls from 'Gone With the Wind'. She had to have been in her 70's at least by then, but she looked pretty good. Anita looks like absolute crap, not as bad as Keith though. Drugs are terrible for you.

Nice to hear the real little girl's voice in this version, btw.

[zepsterboy]

Anita Pallenberg was soooooooooooooo gorgeous back then

[Squarepeg]

@zepsterboy So was Mick, lord have mercy...

[studeddead]

i like that, turn it up

[FuzztoneProductions]

love the jim morrison pic

[PAULLONDEN]

1:55 "old rubber lips" ;])

[bruceross20]

That Ry Cooder sure can play some good slide guitar!

[ironbuttermilk]

Yeah, he's great and a wealth of knowledge. I've hung out with him several times. I never had the guts to tell him this was my favorite of his work (he is bitter about the Stones). 'Natural Magic' from this soundtrack is my fave, love the slide/blues/raga thing.

[onegreenday]

I liked this movie. It''s been years but

in USA we don't get many brit movies; so this was kinda neat to watch.

[sanclementekid]

She didn't use anyone that did not want to be used.

[crackernumber2]

she fucking ruined the stones almost, she fucked brian jones up and she almost killed keith....... fucking whore

[onegreenday]

nonsense. there were big boyz.......

[PAULLONDEN]

You're cracked....She might have been a femme fatale,,but she had a major influence (also musicaly)

on The Stones.

Most Stones'biographies will admit to that.

INfuckinDEED...they were big boys.

Jones had a chip on his shoulder anyway.

[sivaddivad]

The Magic Mountain (Der Zauberberg) is a novel by Thomas Mann

[priapus56]

And boring as hell it is too.

[artstar19]

He wouldn't have been considered a "Jack the Lad" in today's world.

[myncibones]

gangster #1 borrowed heavily from this right down to the film stock,also stoned the supposed brian jones story.there seems to be two versions of this film too,i have one where james fox's boss the bald ,fat gangster's voice is dubbed over.very strange.

[ironbuttermilk]

In the version I've got the little girl's voice is dubbed. I wonder if it's the same version you're talking about, because the Boss's voice seems dubbed in it too, but I never noticed the kid's voice having been dubbed 'til now.

[pypeworld]

One of the most original British gangster movies of all time, without this film you wouldn't of had The Krays or Rocknrolla.

[priapus56]

Don' t forget the best of all "Get Carter."

[Revolutionl968]

I love anita pallenberg she's just so cool and calm like

[rumpraisin]

Would she have been considered a Witch in Medieval times? (she's into weird mushrooms).

[aloufin]

She was stoned the during the entire filming, thats why she was "cool and calm like"

[Revolutionl968]

yeah i know, but whatever she's cool & like her alot

[wookie338]

@Revolutionl968 too bad she a drug addict and a satanist

[Revolutionl968]

@wookie338 The elephant is the only mammal that can't jump.

...oh sorry, I thought we were just pointing out strange but obvious things.

:D

[hanman1]

James Fox "Why don`t you play us a tune"

Mick Jagger "I don`t like music"

James Fox "Comical little geezer. You'll look funny when you're fifty"

[PAULLONDEN]

He ain't called Jogger for nuthin'

these days ◘▬~ -

[biggerturtle]

@hanman1 classic!

[custer1968]

I'm sick of beans!

[shakezula29]

I have been wanting to see this movie forever and I cannot find it anywhere

[dpm3388]

amazon

[custer1968]

I FANCIED 'IM..OLD RUBBER LIPS..HE HAD 3 NUMBER ONES..2 NUMBER TWOS AND A NUMBER FOUR!..hehehe..i think that kid is soooo funny!

[Bridgejones08]

when i first saw this film i thought 'well that was a bit weird! but over time i have come to appreciate it for it's madness and overall uniqueness.

i must get it on dvd when i get chance.

[tcmnav]

The GREAT Ry Cooder on slide guitar!

[ironbuttermilk]

Yes, but a little bit out of his mind. He swears he can hear the difference between two nearly identicle cheap-ass Japanese Teisco pickups. The only diffirence I could detect was where the fake polepiece holes were on the covers. But, what can you say about a guy who spends $100 on a guitar, but $10,000 on the amp system? I kid you not. Nice guy anyhow, and very generous with his knowledge.

[atsigndollarx2]

love this movie

[mrshenley1980]

IM sick of beans

[almadora]

YES. lets have the whole thing. think about all the young minds you'd be teaching. just keep this mantra in your heads, o artists: 'i'm not trying to Entertain you, i'm trying to Educate you.' peace.

[crislery2008]

this happens to be the most funy part of the movie

[bootpig1]

Cool! I put on the scene where Chaz is tormented and tied-up by the rival gang! One of my favorite films.
