Dir. Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg - 1970 - 105m - UK - Valid for Punch Cards

The grimy criminal underworld and hedonistic rock-and-roll counterculture of late-1960s London collide in this mind-scrambling, kaleidoscopic freak-out. On the run from his vengeful boss, a ruthless gangster (James Fox) hides out in the Notting Hill home of a reclusive rock star (Mick Jagger) and his companions (Anita Pallenberg and Michele Breton), who open the doors of his perception as the lines between reality and fantasy, male and female, persona and self, dissolve in a hallucinogenic haze. Built around Jagger’s most magnetic narrative-film performance, this visionary collaboration between Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg is a daringly transgressive, endlessly influential journey to the dark side of bohemia.

"Clearly stands as one of the giant steps in freeing English-language film from the restrictions of Hollywood's standard narrative demands." - Andy Klein, New Times

"A dazzling, ideas-rich, extraordinarily inventive full-stop to the 1960s." - Ali Catterall, Film4

"Visually dazzling, finely acted investigation into such diverse matters as identity, sexuality, violence, power, and underground culture in late 1960s London." - TV Guide
