| Elevator Pitch | At the height of the Sex Pistols fame, the bassist Sid Vicious becomes involved with Nancy Spungen a drug addict, camp follower and occasional sex worker. The band breaks up and the film charts the pair’s gradual descent into heroin hell, ending tragically in the Chelsea Hotel. | ||
| Content | Almost continuous mindless destruction and violence with occasional musical interludes, made more tuneful, I think, for the movie. | ||
| A View | This is remastered for general release in 2016. It is stunning. What a quirky guy Alex Cox is. He used to present a TV film slot called “Moviedrome” in the 1980s, my sons, then teenagers were fans. Go and see Sid & Nancy – you won’t like it! | ||
