Sid & Nancy (Criterion Collection)

Playing like "Romeo and Juliet" on heroin, the bizarre love story of punk rock pioneer Sid Vicious and American groupie Nancy Spungen is graphically brought to the screen by Alex Cox. Gary Oldman plays the Sex Pistols bassist, and Chloe Webb is his partner in a downward spiral of drugs, violence, and, ultimately, death. Music by The Pogues and Joe Strummer.

Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary; bonus documentary "England’s Glory" (1987); archival interviews.
