CLASSIC MATINEE: PERFORMANCE
£5 tickets for Seniors. Free tea, coffee and biscuits after the screening. A testament to Mick Jagger’s allure, filmed in West London, and co-directed by Nicolas Roeg & Donald Cammell, PERFORMANCE is a rare British gem that is considered a high meeting point of British Cinema, Pop Culture and the Visual Arts. Highly controversial, it confounded audiences and critics upon its release, and yet it has come to stand as one of the signature films of the chaotic social upheavals of the late ’60s. 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. Fifty-five years after its original release, PERFORMANCE remains aggressively confrontational, its innovative visual style and radical editing challenging expectations. Thematically, its focus on shifting definitions of sexuality and gender make it seem even more pertinent today than it appeared to a contemporary audience at the beginning of the ’70s... Classic Matinee is a monthly screening of famous and undiscovered classics. Following the films there is a chance to socialise with free tea, coffee and biscuits. Tickets for the over 60's are just £5.00, carers go free and we welcome people living with dementia and care home residents (please contact us if you want to bring a group).CrimePT1H46M182025-04-30James Fox
