COMMENTS OF THE CRITICS:
"Rocco has genuine talent. His best film is the strangely disturbing THE PERFORMANCE. This pas-de-deux for two figures - one black, one white - builds an ambiguous sense of desire & dread through its movements of camera, of actors and by editing. It is not merely a sex or skin film, but a poesie which bursts the bounds of its conventions. THE PERFORMANCE is too good to be relegated to the male nude houses ... it is a sex act not easily forgotten ....."
RICHARD WHITEHALL

"THE PERFORMANCE is a surrealistic bombshell with overtones of revered racial symbols and play like a dream ballet. It is a disturbing picture on many planes .... and make Sidney Poitier's roles look like Uncle Tom playing opposite Mary Poppins. It is one of the most anti-wasp (white-anglo-saxon-protestant) picture I've ever seen ..............."
