With the Iacerating Iove story Sid & Nancy, Alex Cox reimagines the crash-and-burn affair between punk s most notorious seIf-destructive poster children: Sex PistoIs bassist Sid Vicious and his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen brought to visceral life by brilIiant 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 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.
