Like blogger Richard Metzger, I also think Performance is a great film.

"Much like a TARDIS, a Borges short story, or Thomas Pynchon’s The
Crying of Lot 49, Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg‘s 1970 film,
Performance, is far bigger on the inside than its outside might
indicate.  Starring Mick Jagger, James Fox and Anita Pallenberg, and
with its primary action confined to that of a London flat, Performance
manages to explore, in its uniquely heady and hypnotic way, such
notions as gender, identity and madness as a function of creativity."
