Sid and Nancy

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Biographical drama starring Gary Oldman, Chloe Webb

New York, October 1978: police arrive at the Chelsea Hotel to find Sid Vicious, bass player with notorious English punk group the Sex Pistols, in a drug-induced stupor, holding a knife. Nearby lies the body of his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, dead from stab wounds. Their stormy relationship had lasted barely a year.

Showing as part of BBC2's punk evening, Alex Cox's film provides an unflinching portrait of the nihilistic world shared by the doomed lovers.
