Performance

Performance (1970) is a British crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — co-directed by Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell, with James Fox and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger in the leads.

Chas Devlin is a fixer for a London mob outfit whose talent for violence finally gets him into fatal trouble. On the run after killing the wrong man, he hides inside the sealed-off Notting Hill mansion of Turner, a burned-out rock star played by Jagger, who spends his days in a haze of drugs, shifting identities, and two live-in lovers. The longer Chas stays, the harder it becomes to tell the two men apart.

Warner Bros. shelved the finished film for two years before releasing it in 1970, unsettled by what they saw on screen. The wait didn't blunt its impact. Performance remains a cornerstone of psychedelic British cinema, studied for its fractured editing, gender-bending themes, and the eerie chemistry between its two leads.
