A lacerating love story, Sid & Nancy chronicles the brief, intense attachment of two of punks most notorious poster children, Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. Director Alex Cox balances a bleak evocation of star-crossed love with surreal humor and genuine tenderness, creating a compelling portrait of the late 70s punk scene. With brilliant performances by Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb, the films haunting imagery and black comedy resonate long after the final frames.
