January 1978. After their success in England, the punk rock band Sex Pistols venture out on their tour of the southern United States. Temperamental bassist Sid Vicious is forced by his band mates to travel without his troubled girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, who will meet him in New York. When the band breaks up and Sid begins his solo career in a hostile city, the turbulent couple definitely falls into the depths of drug addiction.

Probably my favourite out of all of the Alex Cox films I've watched so far. I'm not the biggest fan of the sex pistols, their musics decent and all but theyre essentially just the punk version of the spice girls. Gary Oldman was amazingggg tho and Cox isn't glorifying Sid and Nancy's relationship at all showing how tragic their life rlly was. I'll probably watch the great rock n roll swindle at some point but idk.

i found this genuinely really enjoyable watching again
there's some really nice work with the saturation, like from london to new york, and despite being a horrible couple, there are some genuinely really tender moments and shots
also the acting is lowk brilliant at times esp in the last 20 minutes
