Fantastic review!!! I 've been waiting to see the undubbed version for nearly 25 years, thanks for taking the time to write this. Can't wait for my *flawed* copy!!
I have been waiting for this for a long time as well, but the review does not mention if the soundtrack is the original or the dubbed version.... Uncut is a misnomer as well, the rated X cut was 107 minutes and 20 seconds... Maybe they plan to release the ultimate edition on the 40th...
The Devils is available from TCM, as I my coppy came over the weekend, but the transfer is not very good................IT IS UNCUT however, and includes the rape of christ scene!!! What a great film I'd forgotten how good it really was.
After reading the transcript I am overwhelmed by the responses from WHV..... Special Plans for Performance, The devils, Brewster Mcloud, All the President's Men, Network, Night Moves, Dog Day Afternoon, Scarecrow, the magnificent ambersons.... and on and on. I realize I am one of the few to...
Sorry, While typing I thought it was tongue in cheek, but upon reading it, you're right and I'm sorry I wrote it. You have great taste in films, but draw a rather hard line when it comes to non-linear narrative films.
action adventure-Dr.No,Patton or Truelies comedy-Cadyshack or 1941 Drama-Performance or Do the right thing Horror-Lost highway Musical-Help Mystery-Mullholand Drive SciFi-Planet of the Apes Silent-Brunel Western- The Unforgiven
Mr.Kaplan, Yes, you are right, DVD is much better suited for classics such as "Buddy, Buddy" so we can know how many hemmoroids jack lemmon had during filming. *snide comment removed* P.S. Don't you realize that George Kaplan is the fictional agent created by the CIA in North by...
To the executives of Warner Studios, Please consider producing a SE DVD of the Cammell Roeg film Performance. An un-cut, un-dubbed 2 hr version of the directors cut can still be possible as long as Nic Roeg is still alive. How about a super sub-culture collection? Performance The...
MD is a fascinating film, emotional experience or whatever else one wants to label it. The non-linear narrative and imppresionistic characters and clues are very reminiscent of the spanish writer Borges. Circular and elliptical narratives were being worked out by this writer in the 1940's...
Performance is in process NOW for a SE DVD. (see the IMDb webpage for performance, then look at the board for Performance DVD. The devils is also in process according to the last Warners chat.
I find it very funny that the people with an obvious bias to the left complain that the Simpson's are a tool for Murdoch, while the people on the right post how the Simpson's are so popular that they can slam the right and get away with it. People just see what they want to see. I...
I thought there were some fans of Performance on this board. Should be a great SE as there are at least 5 different cuts that I have seen and a few I haven't, lots of material on this very "literal" film.
On the Imdb web site bulletin board there is post that Warner brothers is putiing together a SE DVD of the great Cammell/Roeg masterpiece Performance. Good news for fans of this film.
I would like to add a few votes for , Deliverance Network and the great Cammell/Roeg masterpiece, Performance A fantastic film with loads of backstory, alternate versions, a directors cut that is 20-30 minutes longer, a great documentary about Donald Cammell, etc.
Blade runner Bullitt The Devils Performance( A directors cut, please, original two hour length) Bonnie and Clyde I would part with wads of cash for any of them.
Goodfellas Cool hand Luke 2001:a space odessey Network The Maltese Falcon Blade runner Bullitt The Devils Performance( A directors cut, please, original two hour length) Bonnie and Clyde I would part with wads of cash for any of them.
I would pay HUGE cash for a directors cut DVD of the Cammell / Roeg Masterpiece "Performance". Roeg is still alive. Sandy lieberson has outakes. Original negatives are in the Warner Vaults. Film school sales alone, justify the restoration and mastering. Why can't this one happen?
It seems the entertainment execs in hollywood loathe anything with any artistic value. Wonderfalls was an original, entertaining, fresh approach to television programming, in contrast to the otherwise bland offerings on commercial television. FOX should be ashamed of this descion. If I...
I would love to get the original 1969 directors cut of Cammell and Roegs Performance. This version was rejected by the execs and was just over 120 minutes. Ice station zebra is another.
