PERFORMANCE (1970)

I really don't know if this film belongs here, but it's here now! The plot is weird like all 60s/70s British movies so bear with me...
Chas (James Fox) is a bully boy for a London crime syndicate. He works the protection rackets and duffs up the ones that resist. He goes too far however, and has to go on the run, disguising himself as a juggler (!) and attempting to lose himself in the Bohemian quarter of Notting Hill. He blags his way into a house inhabited by Turner (Mick Jagger) and rents a room. Turner, however, is rather strange himself, being a rock star in hiding who is 'searching for his lost demon'. Along with Pherber (Anita Pallenberg) and Lucy (Michele Breton) he attempts to exorcise the demon within Chas...what a strange story! Also stars Anthony Valentine and 'hard man' John Bindon.
More weird wonders from Sneaky Elephant SOON!
