<\/a><\/p>\n\nI am so excited I can’t even tell you to participate in a post-screening discussion of Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell’s 1970 film Performance<\/i> with Matt Zoller Seitz and writer\/editor Ian Hill. The screening is part of “The Sopranos Film Festival<\/a>“, curated\/hosted by Matt Zoller Seitz (who has a book coming out on The Sopranos<\/i>), with major input from Sopranos<\/i> creator David Chase himself. (He chose many of the films to be screened at the festival, including Performance<\/i>). <\/p>\n Performance<\/i> is screening on January 10, 10:00 pm at IFC Center, discussion to follow. Ticket information here<\/a>. <\/p>\n Performance<\/i> is so destabilizing it still feels radical, with its multiple fluid intersections of crime, beauty, sex, celebrity, gender … I mean, whatever else you want to throw in there. Plus starring Mick Jagger, James Fox, Anita Pallenberg and Michele Breton. <\/p>\n I did a re-watch of all of Nicolas Roeg’s stuff this month, following his death, since I was writing a tribute to him for a yet-to-be-disclosed outlet. Performance<\/i> is fresh in my mind, although – if you’ve seen it – you know how the film never really leaves you. It takes root in your brain. Your nervous system. Its images rise unbidden from the deeps. It’s that kind of movie. I have never seen it on the big screen and I can’t wait. <\/p>\n \n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am so excited I can’t even tell you to participate in a post-screening discussion of Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell’s 1970 film Performance with Matt Zoller Seitz and writer\/editor Ian Hill.
