Rock superstar Mick Jagger stars in a stunning reality/fantasy trip set in London's underworld. A criminal hides out at the residence of a bizarre rock star (Jagger) and his mysterious and beautiful companion (Anita Pallenberg, "Barbarella"). A gripping, psychological melodrama and cult favorite, with a fabulous soundtrack by Jack Nitzsche ("The Exorcist," "Stand By Me"), under the direction of Academy Award-winner Randy Newman ("Monsters Inc."), and of course the Stones.

Performance Film Synopsis

In underworld terms, Chas Devlin is a 'performer,' a gangster with a talent for violence and intimidation. Turner is a reclusive rock superstar. When Chas and Turner meet, their worlds collide—and the impact is both exotic and explosive.

Why the dubbed characters?A classic movie from the late-Sixties, but why are most of the voices of London gangsters so poorly dubbed? Non-actor Johnny Shannon was perfectly cast at Harry Fowlers; why was his voice so badly replaced by this "posh" one? Very distracting.

Italiano
In criminale in fuga si rifugia in uno scantinato, inseguito dai complici e dalla polizia. Nel rifugio trova un cantante drogato insieme alle sue due amanti. L'uomo, intuito il meccanismo del "triangolo", si insinua nel gioco diventando l'elemento dominante e rendendo gli altri suoi "sudditi".

Deutsch
Im Jargon der Unterwelt ist Chas Devlin ein “Performer”, ein Gangster, der seine Gegner brutal einschüchtert. Turner ist ein zurückgezogen lebender Rock-Superstar. Als Chas Turner kennen lernt, prallen zwei völlig unterschiedliche Welten aufeinander, was ebenso exotischen wie explosiven Zündstoff liefert. James Fox und Mick Jagger zeigen als Chas und Turner unvergessliche darstellerische Leistungen in einem faszinierenden Spiel zwischen Illusion und Realität, Dekadenz und Untergang. Auf der Flucht versteckt sich Chas in Turners höhlenartigem Haus. Bald überschlagen sich die unheimlichen Ereignisse derart, dass alle Dämme brechen, traditionelle Rollen nicht mehr gelten und Chas sein Gefühl für die Realität völlig verliert. Wobei Turners experimentelle Selbstfindung ebenfalls in eine schockierende letzte Performance mündet.

Pусский
Главный герой, гангстер Чес, случайно убивает своего мафиозного босса и теперь ищет убежища в доме друга, бывшего рок-певца, который практикует свободную любовь, экспериментирует с наркотиками всех видов и любит носить женскую одежду. Постепенно в образ жизни приятеля втягивается и Чес. «Представление» — очень яркий продукт эпохи хиппи, демонстрирующий шокированному зрителю несимулированный секс и употребление наркотиков, но все это наполнено такой долей интеллекта и остроумия, что не проникнуться разудалой атмосферой просто невозможно.

Español
Debut de Roeg en un thriller ambientado en el mundo de la música pop. Chas es un performer de la mafia, un matón a sueldo que aplica curiosas y artísticas torturas a sus víctimas. Cuando surge un problema con su capo, se ve obligado a huir, y decide esconderse en el sótano de una antigua casa de un suburbio de Londres. El casero, una ex estrella de rock llamada Turner (interpretado por Mick Jagger), vive con dos mujeres con las que forma un trío, y se pasa el día comiendo setas alucinógenas e improvisando con la guitarra. Al principio, Chas y Turner chocan, pero poco a poco, en un viaje de conocimiento mutuo, se darán cuenta de que ambos son performers y que tan sólo una delgada línea les separa.

Français
Chas, un gangster sadique en cavale, trouve refuge à Notting Hill chez l'étrange Turner, une rockstar droguée sur le déclin. Entre ces deux individus hors normes, la fascination est mutuelle.

Český
Režijní debut Nicolase Roega začíná jako syrová gangsterka, aby se bez varování proměnil v extravagantní trip po hraně mezi realitou a fantazií, plný explicitního sexu, násilí a drog. To z něj, spolu s originální strukturou vyprávění a obsazením Micka Jaggera, udělalo jeden z nejdůležitějších filmů dekády. (43rd KVIFF)

Gangster Chas Devlin (James Fox) pracuje jako "egzekutor" opłat za ochronę. Gdy z powodów osobistych zabija jednego z "klientów", ściga go policja i szef gangu, który nie chce mieć kłopotów. Chas ukrywa się na przedmieściach Londynu i wynajmuje pokój w domu byłego gwiazdora rocka Turnera (Mick Jagger). Turner pomaga Chasowi wcielić się w osobowość rockowego muzyka i wciąga go w swój świat...

Magyar
London a hippikorszak alkonyán. Chas, a pszichopata gengszter egy gyilkosság végrehajtása után búvóhelyet keres egy időre, így kerül a titokzatos Mr. Turner, az egykori rocksztár vendégházába. Miközben megbízója és bandatársai tűvé teszik érte a várost, Chast egyre mélyebben rabul ejti Turner házának mámoros világa. Turnert a népszerűsége csúcsán járó Mick Jagger alakítja, akinek a Memo From Turner című dalára készült filmbeli montázs a videoklip műfajának egyik legkorábbi példája.

Nederlands
Als Chas om persoonlijke redenen iemand vermoordt, brengt hij de groep gangsters waar hij bijhoort in gevaar, wat zij hem niet in dank afnemen. Op de vlucht voor zowel agenten als gangsters, ziet Chas zich gedwongen onder te duiken.

Türkçe
“Performans”, hippi yaşamı ile gangster yaşamını üst üste kurgulayarak bir karakterin kimlik bölünmesini zeki ve gizemli bir dille inceliyor. Buna ulaşırken anlatısını kurgu teknikleri üzerine kurması da, suçla ilgili dertlerini söyleme şekliyle çığır açmasını sağlıyor. Sub-noir dediğimiz alt türün başlangıcı anlamına gelen yenilikçi bir gangster filmi! Aynı zamanda hippi kültürünün nasıl anlatılacağına dair bir sinema dersi.

Português
A primeira de várias incursões de Jagger no cinema, o pôlemico Performance sofreu várias montagens diferentes até seu lançamento. Um gângster (James Fox) jurado de morte por seus pares se refugia na mansão de um rockstar decadente (Mick Jagger), junto com duas garotas andróginas (Anita Pallenberg e Michelle Breton), e lá tem seus sentidos testados por um coquetel de drogas e perversão. Ao mesmo tempo, há um choque entre os mundo do gângster e do roqueiro, com suas diferenças.

한국어/조선말
도널드 캠멜과 공동으로 연출한 로그의 감독 데뷔작으로 본인이 촬영을 맡았다. 60년 말 런던을 배경으로 조직의 위협을 피해 록스타 터너(믹 재거)의 집에 숨은 악당 채스(제임스 폭스)가 겪는 기이한 이야기로 1967년 완성되었으나 난해하고 퇴폐적인 내용 때문에 영화사 창고에 쳐 박혀 있다 1970년 개봉되었다. 1960년대 섹스, 마약, 록큰롤 음악의 히피문화를 조롱하는 이 영화는 제임스 폭스의 뛰어난 연기와 더불어 섹스와 마약에 찌든 록스타 터너, 믹 재거- 마흔 살이 되었을 때도 매혹적이었던 - 의 퍼포먼스를 보는 즐거움이 크다. (한국영상자료원 - 니콜라스 뢰그 감독전)

Working with elements of the traditional horror genre - second sight, ESP, warnings from the dead, a mad killer - and cinematography of disquieting beauty and dreamlike sense of dislocation, director Roeg weaves a fabric of anxiety that questions all reality. The evocative use of the back streets of Venice is a sinister participant in the action based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier. This intensely erotic and macabre film boasts outstanding performances by Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland.
