Performance: A Biography of the Classic Sixties Film

A fascinating account of the making of one of the most distinctive British films of its era, where cinema, music and the changing culture of the 1960s collided.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine love of cinema, performance and the creative process behind filmmaking. He appreciated the writing, direction, performances and artistic risks that could turn a production into something audiences would still be discussing decades later. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

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

The book examines the creative process, personalities and cultural atmosphere surrounding the production, offering a behind-the-scenes account of the ideas, tensions and influences that helped shape one of the era's most unusual films.

A compelling choice for admirers of British cinema, cult film, 1960s film history and the remarkable stories behind distinctive productions.

Arya's Approval

Proper behind-the-scenes cinema, full of creative ambition, strong personalities and a film that had little interest in following convention. A fascinating look at how artistic risk and cultural change produced something audiences are still discussing.
