I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
'Performance' quite a violent late 60's gangster film ,
Quote...........
In 1970 Fox played Chas in Nicholas Roeg's harrowing film ‘Performance’. This film presented Fox with a role that was a radical departure from his usual leading man and, light comedy mainstay. The story starts as a fast paced and violent London crime drama then switches gears less than half way through. Chas, (Fox) a brutal cockney thug, must go into hiding after killing two members of a rival gang. He ends up lodging in a strange house occupied by former Rock Star Turner(Mick Jagger) and his strange household of bohemian women. During this time, Chas comes to question his own perceptions and, definitions of gender roles and violence. Opinions on this film have been widely divided with some hailing it as a ground breaking masterpiece, others considering really dreadful. This particular reviewer considers it a cult movie and worthwhile a watch if you can get a copy of it.
One of my fave films
