Performance (2 Viewers)

Anybody ever seen Performance? Showing in IFI now. Allegedly one of the 'great' British films. Saw it t'other night. Loada hippy guff. You could see Roeg's influence and it was shaping up to be interesting but.... nah.
Any conflicting reports? Lets have a barney over here.

Sorry, I agree completely. I feel the same about The Man Who Fell To Earth. OK, so what other supposedly 'great' films do you think are shite? I'll set the ball rolling with Citizen Kane. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

I hope it's not considered a necessarily 'great' film, but I lasted 45 minutes into The Matrix before I felt insulted and switched it off.

I like Performance a lot
is it still showing?

very edgy performances throughout

good directors Roeg and Cammell who went to do lots of good shit - Don't Look Know, Bad Timing, White Of The Eye, Walkabout, Demon Seed
