Book Synopsis Performance - the Making of a Classic by : Jay Glennie
Download or read book Performance - the Making of a Classic written by Jay Glennie and published by . This book was released on 2018-12 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

The large format book takes a comprehensive look at the landmark British film. Released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the filming of Performance, it includes exclusive interviews with cast & crew (including Mick Jagger, James Fox, Nic Roeg and Sandy Lieberson), soundtrack musicians and artists influenced by the film.Featuring stunning on-location images, many of which have never been published before, this book is the definitive account of the unlikely and often difficult journey from page to screen of Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg's visionary film. Every film has its own extraordinary story but never anything like Performance! The book details how a group of mostly first time filmmakers managed to raise the money for a film without showing the studio financing it a script and then shoot the whole film on location away from any studio executives preying eyes and then see their film not released for two years.Performance the book looks at the personality clashes on set, the unconventional working methods of codirectors Donald Cammell and Nic Roeg and their stars Mick Jagger, James Fox, Anita Pallenberg and Michèle Breton. Through first-hand accounts and extensive research, we find out what it was like to work on the famed film. And after a shoot that was typified by a 'work hard, play hard' approach, we discover there was still more controversy to come with a soundtrack only featuring one Mick Jagger song, the refusal to release the film by Warner Bros. until it was heavily edited and a decidedly cool reception from most critics.

Book excerpt: Nicolas Roeg has directed some of the most original films of the past twenty years, yet his work has remained relatively unknown. Combining the styles of such famous British directors as Hitchcock, Reed and Lester with innovations from the French New Wave, his work is artfully distinctive. Despite their initial lack of commercial appeal and pans by critics for their "inaccessibility, " many of Roegs films have gained a large audience over time. Performance and Bad Timing have become cult films; Walkabout is a mainstay on college campuses and even among church groups. Why? Film by film, details of Roegs dozen features are examined in an effort to better understand the man and his movies.
