A sympathetic and engrossing overview of a modern classic
After reading Colin McCabe's BFI book on Performance (and several articles on the film and Donald Cammell in recent years), I thought I knew all I needed to know about this modern classic. Mick Brown has brought a clean, but enthusiastic prose style and new research ( I was pleased to discover Michele Breton is alive, if not entirely well, and living in Berlin) to the study of a film that has inspired much myth-making and speculation. Brown has also managed to employ the series somewhat cumbersome A-Z format to his own ends. Along with Adrian Turner's Goldfinger book, this is the best in the series so far. Swinging sixties obsessives and the curious in general will find much to learn and enjoy from this book.
