Nicholas Roeg¹s Performance, starring Mick Jagger, is a feast for the mind and senses ‹ a film that simultaneously explores the nature of identity, violence and creativity, sex and death, amorality, power, drugs, and rock and roll. Now Mick Brown explains why it may be one of the greatest British films of all time. Bloomsbury¹s Movie Guides, now in pocket-size editions, are A to Z companions to some of the greatest, most memorable films ever made. The books feature scores of entries on all aspects of the making and meaning of movies and include historic, cinematic, and literary references; profiles of the actors and directors; and interviews. Erudite and opinionated, they will change the way you look at films.
