Flop-houses and failed rock stardom somehow seem to have filed many of our romantic self-images five years ago. Just revisit Performance to bring it all back. If you've ever sensed that Mick Jagger should have thrown n the towel years ago, this film will show you why. The jig has long been up on Jagger's androgonous lewdness.
