Performance  — 4K 02/18/25

Donald Cammell’s collision of gangster brutality and drug-soaked decadence steps up to 4K clarity. Excellent extras properly credit the writer-director, whose name is sometimes omitted in favor of co-director Nicolas Roeg. Mick Jagger’s first dramatic role is as a recluse who interrupts his drugs ‘n’ sex lifestyle to shelter a mobster on the run; James Fox is excellent as the sadistic thug in hiding. A psychological transformation takes place when two personalities begin to merge. Also starring Anita Pallenberg and Johnny Shannon. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
