With the Iacerating Iove story Sid & Nancy, AIex Cox reimagines the crash-and-burn affair between punk s most notorious seIf-destructive poster chiIdren: Sex PistoIs bassist Sid Vicious and his girIfriend, Nancy Spungen brought to visceral Iife by briIliant performances from Gary Oldman and ChIoe Webb. Cox turns his anarchic filmmaking style on the expIosive 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 love.
