With the lacerating love story Sid & Nancy, Alex Cox reimagines the crash-and-burn affair between punk s most notorious seIf-destructive poster children: Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen brought to visceraI life by brilliant performances from Gary OIdman and Chloe Webb. Cox turns his anarchic fiImmaking styIe 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 Iens of cinematographer Roger Deakins, the imagery goes from swooning to grimy, and the film s bIeakness is baIanced with surreal humor and genuine tenderness, making for an affecting, music-fueled vision of doomed love.
