Few film-makers have generated as much speculation, myth and gossip as Donald Cammell, who made his name with the cult 1969 film Performance. Yet Cammell's career failed to take off and he directed only three more films, including White of the Eye, before taking his own life in April in a way reminiscent of a murder at the end of Performance. This film about Cammell's life and work includes contributions from his family and Performance stars Mick Jagger, James Fox and Anita Pallenberg , as well as interviews with Cammell filmed shortly before his death.
