Acclaimed filmmaker Todd Haynes invites you into his subversive and surprising cinematic universe for one night only with back to back screenings of “Performance” and “Vertigo,” two movies guaranteed to twist your cinematic sensibilities into knots. This evening with Haynes kicks off En Route, a new Hollywood Theatre series featuring directors at the height of their craft presenting films that have influenced their work.
London gangsters, free love, identity tumult, rapid intercutting, and rock and roll all come together in “Performance,” which features Mick Jagger in an eerily meta role. “The only performance that makes it, that really makes it, is the one that achieves madness,” Jagger’s character proclaims, and the film takes this to heart.
