I liked that film, and thought Jagger was good in it. I also liked his performance in "Bent" ('97) as Greta. The dogs in his filmography were "Freejack," which was I assume just a way to get back into the industry, & "Ned Kelly."
I find Ned Kelly really good. And freejack is a good "serie B" Jagger and Johansen are just perfect. Freejack is more and more actual, showing the riches more and more rich and the poors more and more poors, eating rats, during rich people are closed in their protected palace. Indeed, Elysian fields is fabulous.
I forgot David Johansen's in Freejack! I remember thinking, the frontman for the Stones & frontman for NYDolls in the same film.... Also, I shouldnt say 'dogs' - I love dogs.

Yes, Performance is killer. Anybody digs that film should check out "Donald Cammell: The Final Performance" (may be "last" rather than "final") Has recent (released in '98) footage of Mick on Cammell's creative block & many other interviewees. Cammell's last film is tremendous, "White Of the Eye" w/ Christopher Walken has very similar themes of the nature identity - almost a followup to Performance, & just as good. There is a 'directors cut'...
yah, liked Performance a lot. Has anybody of you seen the film "The Nightingale"? Mick plays a Japanese Emporer. That's really really sad to see that guy making himself a clown.
