Performance was made in Britain in 1968, immediately shelved by the studio that paid for it, then re-edited by seven different editors and released in 1970. It was co-directed by Donald Cammell and Nicholas Roeg. Cammell also wrote the script; Roeg photographed it. Some say this film is the product of Roeg’s genius, others that it’s all down to Donald Cammell - as if it was some sort of contest rather than a collaboration. For the record, Donald Cammell has also directed the computer slasher movie Demon Seed and the cult slasher White of the Eye. Roeg has made too many great films to mention.
