Who Killed Nancy - 2009 - 7/10
[Image: f3ylft.jpg]
Nancy Spungen was killed Oct 1978. Six months later, boyfriend-suspect Sid Vicious died of an overdose. The case was closed, and everyone decided "Sid did it."
Police records reveal there were actually six suspects. This documentary tries to pick up the threads with mixed results.
Lots of interviews with friends, drug buddies, roadies, etc ... As well as a great soundtrack. The narrative meanders, however, and never quite targets the prime alternative. One has the impression Sid didn't kill Nancy (witnesses confirm he was passed out) ... but who did? And why?
This should have been better. Still, Who Killed Nancy is essential viewing for fans of Great Rock-N-Roll Swindle or readers of Jon Savage's England's Dreaming, or anyone who went to punk shows.
