A legendary CultClassic since its release, ''Performance'' stands out as even among the more weird films made in the period, subject to rumours and speculations even during production. The nudity and sex scenes earned it the ire of Warner Bros who had produced the film, resulting in early bowdlerized versions. The film has since been regarded and treasured as a defining portrait of London in TheSixties, for its GenreBusting KudzuPlot. The film's score by Jack Nitzche is highly praised and the song "Memo from Turner" by Ry Cooder and Mick Jagger is well regarded enough that Creator/MartinScorsese recycled it for ''Film/{{Goodfellas}}''. Another BigNameFan Creator/AlanMoore devoted an entire section of his ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' comics to making an unofficial prequel to some of the events in the film, with the SerialNumbersFiledOff of character names.
