A look back at esteemed film critic and director Alex Cox's most famous hour (after Repo Man perhaps) reveals a first half so camply wild and cartoonish it could be from Baz Luhrmann himself. A second half that leaves the Sex Pistols behind and focuses on punk's own Romeo and Juliet, is a more thoughtful, sad and tragic affair - that goes a long way to humanising a potentially obnoxious couple. Both an early Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb are outstanding in the titular roles. The cinematography of a mid eighties New York hellscape was so good I looked up who did it and was fairly shocked to find the one and only Roger Deakins!
