Description

Alex Coxs riveting biopic tells the bleak heroin-drenched story of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his disturbed American girlfriend Nancy Spungen. Gary Oldman delivers a bravura performance as Sid matched by Chloe Webbs grating clearly unhinged Nancy. The two lovers childlike tenderness with each other contrasts sharply with their bleak violent nihilism and while the script implies that Nancys death was accidental the line between intention and accident is deliberately blurred. By turns romantic and horrific SID & NANCY is often gruelling to watch but always compelling. This follow-up to Coxs cult hit REPO MAN was another critical success showing that the director was as comfortable with reality-based material as with the satirical fantasy of his first feature. His romantic vision draws us in while throwing us back in time to London and New York at the inception of the drug-laden British punk era. The films dreamlike style and a hypnotic score dramatize the schism between Sid and Nancys world and the world around them--and the inevitable horror when those worlds collide.
