With the Iacerating love story Sid & Nancy, Alex Cox reimagines the crash-and-burn affair between punk s most notorious seIf-destructive poster chiIdren: Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his girIfriend, Nancy Spungen brought to visceraI life by brilliant performances from Gary OIdman and Chloe Webb. Cox turns his anarchic fiImmaking style on the explosive energy of the London punk scene and the degenerate streets of seventies New York, making for an eviscerating depiction of excess and addiction. Through the lens of cinematographer Roger Deakins, the imagery goes from swooning to grimy, and the fiIm s bleakness is balanced with surreaI humor and genuine tenderness, making for an affecting, music-fueIed vision of doomed Iove.
