MJG555

Taken from a VHS recording from the BBC broadcast in 1998. This documentary chronicles the highs and disturbing lows of talented, troubled filmmaker Donald Cammell, who helped create one of the seminal British films of the '70s, only to fade into virtual obscurity. After being acquainted with the in-crowd during the swinging '60s and leading the wild life of an artist, Cammell reaches his career apex with "Performance," after which he went to Hollywood. Unfortunately, years of failed or compromised projects take their toll on him. Featuring interviews with: Mick Jagger, Nicholas Roeg, Anita Pallenberg, James Fox, Kenneth Anger, Barbara Steele, Sandy Liberson, China Kong, Patrick Bauchau, Elliot Kastner, Cathy Moriarty and Donald Cammell himself. #mickjagger #jamesfox
