'Performance' is considered one of the most important and controversial British films. Starring Fox, Jagger and Pallenberg, it depicts the merging of the underground worlds of rock and roll and organised crime. Gangsters and bohemian musicians inhabit a shared celebrity status within swinging London, revealing the dark side to the prevailing counter culture of flower power. Filmed in 1968, 'Performance' illustrates this and fuses violence, drugs, and sexual ambiguity, shocking topics that caused the film's suppression for two years.
At this time, Pallenberg was at the start of her long partnership with Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, who wrote the seminal "Gimme Shelter" as a response to the couple's relationship during the making of the film.
