Performance (, w/Donald Cammell
Where the DNA of Performance (, w/Donald Cammell travels
Films that shaped it
-
I think what separates a cult movie is when you watch it, it makes you want to become a filmmaker. And that’s what Performance did to me, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Suspiria, and Taxi Driver. I mean, I’m a child of the ’70s, so that’s my upbringing.
Films it shaped
-
It’s funny because I was always very keen on Performance by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg, which is full of different kinds of tricks... I always wanted to make a movie that would be as complicated as that. So I think Performance was probably the most direct influence I had for Irreversible in terms of film technique.
