Donald Cammell, Nicolas Roeg / GB, 1970 / 105 min.
Nicolas Roeg’s infamous, co-directed debt is a seldom-screened classic, on which he was also the cinematographer. Former rock star Turner (Mick Jagger) takes in gangster on the run Chas (James Fox); the pair descend into a bizarre world of sex, violence, drugs and hallucinations.
James Fox plays violent gangster Chas, who’s on the run from both the police and his boss. He eventually finds sanctuary with former rock star Turner; a meeting that will prove completely transformative for both men.
