9:45pm - Sid & Nancy –(1986)
Directed by Alex Cox
Containing: Gary Oldman, Chloe Webb, Courtney Love

In the late-70s punk rock gave people the wake-up call that the decade needed. The side effects of total anarchy are brilliantly captured in this morbid biography about Nancy and Sid’s passionate and totally disturbing relationship. Oldman embodies Vicious perfectly as we watch heroin slowly turn him into his own kind of “walking dead.” Lastly, Courtney Love co-stars in what has to be one of the most eerily ironic roles in cinema history. 112 mins. 35mm.
