Performance: A Biography of the Classic Sixties Film

A fascinating account of one of the most distinctive and controversial British films of the 1960s, where cinema, music, creativity and culture collided.

Some treasures at Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Others are here because they belonged to my dad and formed part of a collection shaped by his lifelong love of cinema, performance and the creative process behind unforgettable films.

Dad was an actor and scriptwriter who understood film as far more than entertainment. He appreciated the writing, direction, performances and creative risks that could turn a production into something audiences would still be discussing decades later.

Written by Paul Buck, Performance: A Biography of the Classic Sixties Film explores the making of the cult British film starring Mick Jagger and James Fox.

The book examines the creative process, the personalities involved and the cultural atmosphere surrounding a production that refused to follow conventional rules. It offers an absorbing behind-the-scenes account of the ideas, tensions and influences that helped shape one of the most unusual films of its era.

A compelling addition for readers interested in British cinema, film history, screenwriting and the remarkable stories behind iconic productions.

Arya's Approval

Right darlings… this is proper behind-the-scenes cinema, full of creative ambition, strong personalities and a film that clearly had no intention of behaving itself. It explores how unusual ideas, artistic risks and cultural change came together to create something audiences are still discussing. Very clever, very distinctive and certainly not boring.
