SID & NANCY

Alex Cox’s Sid and Nancy tells a story of the short, self-imploding romance between two tragic souls: Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his caustic, unfortunate girlfriend Nancy Spungen. This film shows what can happen when two lost individuals find each other. Their romance ended on terms so horrible that the situation has made the two of them inextricably linked in history. If a movie can only touch on the periphery of someone’s reality, then these two lived an incredibly bleak existence. On an positive note, the circa. 80’s punk/pop/rock soundtrack is pretty good.
