Sid-Nancy-DP-Net.Pdf Studiocanal et Tamasa présentent UN FILM DE ALEX COX VERSION RESTAURÉE UK - 1986 - 1H50 SORTIE LE 14 FÉVRIER 2018 DISTRIBUTION Tamasa PRESSE 5 rue de Charonne 75011 Paris Camille Calcagno Tel 01 43 59 01 01 Tel 01 43 59 64 37 [email protected] [email protected] SID & NANCY est un mélodrame flamboyant qui aurait pu être écrit par Lou Reed et Mickey Spillane : sur fond de punk-rock, une histoire de sexe, de drogue, d’amour, de mort, de gloire et de désespoir. L’aventure de deux êtres dont la mort est liée symbo- liquement à celle d’une culture et d’une musique qui ont révolutionné l’Angleterre à la fin des années 70. En 1977, Sid Vicious était le bassiste des Sex Pistols, un groupe qui défrayait la chronique par ses outrances et ses provocations. Nancy Spungen était une groupie, venue à Londres de Philadelphie. Leur amour fut passionné, violent et de courte durée. Le 12 octobre 1978, on découvrait le corps poignardé de Nancy dans une chambre du Chelsea Hotel, à New York. Sid Vicious fut arrêté et accusé du meurtre. Le 2 février 1979, avant l’ouverture de son procès, il mourait d’overdose. Pour certains, Sid et Nancy furent les héros tragiques d’une génération perdue. Pour d’autres, de vulgaires dé- linquants, des drogués pathétiques. Alex Cox a eu, dès 1980, le projet d’un film sur les Sex Pistols. « Alors que je travaillais sur le script, je me suis rendu compte que l’aspect le plus intéressant du groupe, c’était l’histoire de Sid et de sa petite amie. » En 1984, il se rend à Londres pour la première de REPO MAN. Il rencontre plusieurs personnes qui avaient côtoyé Sid et Nancy, en particulier l’écrivain de science-fiction Allan Jones et Debbie Wilson, une groupie des Sex Pistols. Le projet prend défini- tivement forme. « J’ai voulu donner du couple une image romantique. Ce qui ne veut pas dire que j’ai cherché à le glorifier. Il n’y avait rien de glorieux en eux. Le fantasme de Nancy, c’était de mourir en pleine apo- théose, avant d’avoir vingt et un ans. Sans doute les ai-je rendus plus intéressants que dans la réalité. Mais j’espère en tout cas n’avoir pas donné une image romancée de leur univers ». Début 1985, Alex Cox rencontre Eric Fellner, un jeune producteur anglais qui propose le film à la Zenith, une des nouvelles com- pagnies les plus dynamiques d’Angleterre (THE HIT de Stephen Frears, UNE NUIT DE REFLEXION de Nicolas Roeg, WHETHERBY de David Hare). Le tournage a lieu à Londres, Paris, New York et Los Angeles fin 1985. On retrouve dans SID & NANCY les qualités qui ont fait le succès de REPO MAN: une affection sincère, mais non aveugle, pour les asociaux et les inadaptés, une sympathie non dénuée d’humour pour la culture d’une jeunesse marginale. « On pourrait définir SID & NANCY comme un polar sur une histoire de passions et de pizzas. J’ai voulu être fidèle à l’esprit punk. Le film démarre dans l’optimisme et la drôlerie. Les Sex Pistols et les Clash à leurs débuts étaient une force positive dans l’Angleterre d’alors. Mais après la mort de Sid, tout l’optimisme a disparu. La pop-music et le rock sont à présent au plus bas ». Sans être un documentaire sur le mouvement punk, SID & NANCY traduit parfaitement l’esprit d’une époque, la violence, l’humour sarcastique d’une musique et le caractère scandaleux de ses représentants les plus fameux, les Sex Pistols. Les compositions des Sex Pis- tols et de Sid Vicious ont été réenregistrées pour le film par Glen Matlock, le premier bas- siste des Pistols. Gary Oldman et Drew Schofield interprètent eux-mêmes leurs chansons. La musique additionnelle a été composée, entre autres, par les Pogues, Pray for Rain et Joe Strummer. Sid Vicious « Je ne suis pas vicieux, vraiment. Je suis plutôt un cœur tendre. J’aime ma maman. Elle me comprend, elle est heureuse que j’aie enfin pu trouver quelque chose qui me convienne dans l’existence. Je pense que je mourrai vers 25 ans, mais j’aurais vécu comme je le voulais » Gary Oldman, 27 ans, s’est attaché à restituer les aspects les plus divers de la flamboyante personnalité de Sid Vicious : agressivi- té, vulnérabilité, humour, etc. Acteur de théâtre confirmé, il s’est brillamment approprié les maniérismes du musicien, à partir d’un matériau visuel limité. Il s’est également entretenu avec la mère de l’artiste, Anne Beverley, qui eut l’occasion d’admirer son travail sur le plateau :« Gary Oldman a réussi une prodigieuse imitation de Sid. Il a capté sa démarche, ses gestes, ses ricanements. Chaque détail est juste, et pourtant Gary, dans la vie, ne ressemble en rien à Sid .. » « SID & NANCY n’est pas un documentaire, note Oldman. Ma principale source d’information était le script d’Alex Cox, et ma tâche consista à rendre le personnage vraisemblable dans le contexte du film. Ce fut extrêmement éprouvant, et si les dernières scènes sont pénibles à voir, elles le furent tout autant à jouer ... » Pour comprendre la mentalité et les expériences des drogués, Gary Oldman lut notamment « Junkie » de William Burroughs et « Les Confessions d’un Mangeur d’Opium » de Thomas de Quincey. « Mais ce fut un ami, ancien héroïnomane, qui me donna l’indication la plus utile : «Imagine que ta colonne vertébrale est enveloppée de coton ... » C’est à partir de cette image que j’ai essayé de montrer Sid dans les dernières semaines de sa vie ... Ce qui m’a le plus intéressé dans ce rôle, c’était de révéler la double personnalité de Sid Vicious. J’aurais pu me contenter d’en faire un désaxé, mais ç’aurait été trop facile. Je voulais montrer ce qu’il y avait en lui de plus fragile ... Je ne crois pas qu’il ait voulu tuer Nancy, mais j’ai le sentiment qu’elle le souhaitait...» Chloe Webb est originaire de New York. Entrée au Conservatoire de Musique et d’Art Dramatique de Boston à 16 ans, elle y séjourne pendant quatre ans, puis se produit à Chicago, Los Angeles et New York. Elle compte à son répertoire des pièces aussi diverses que « Baal », « La Nuit des Rois », « Forbidden Broadway » , « Family Album », et « School Talk ». Pour se préparer au rôle de Nancy (sa première apparition en vedette à l’écran), Chloe Webb a lu de nombreux témoignages sur les Sex Pistols et Marianne Faithfull. Elle a également rencontré la soeur cadette de Nancy, Susan Spungen : Nancy « J’avais envie de dialoguer avec quelqu’un qui ait un point de vue favorable sur Nancy. Susan m’a apporté des photos d’enfance de sa sœur, où l’on décelait déjà un incroyable besoin d’affection. Je me suis efforcée de suggérer la violence latente de Nancy, sa fantaisie et cet intense besoin d’amour que Sid pouvait seul satisfaire ... Nancy était une forte personnalité. Elle aurait accompli des pro- diges si elle avait utilisé son énergie de façon constructive. Mais elle n ‘aspirait qu’à devenir la petite amie d’une star du rock et y parvint : elle devint la plus célèbre groupie du monde ... J’ai rencontré certaines de ces groupies. Ce sont de vraies garces! Elles mènent des vies insensées. Elles s’accrochent à un gars et font n’importe quoi pour lui plaire et devenir sa compagne officielle. En ce qui concerne le côté physique du personnage, j’ai consacré une bonne heure chaque matin à mon maquillage et à ma coiffure. Nancy était lourdement grimée. Elle avait les yeux fardés, le teint blafard et les lèvres écarlates. Elle prenait son rôle très au sérieux. Son grimage était un rituel. Elle n‘y aurait renoncé pour rien au monde, et l’observa jusqu’au dernier jour de sa vie. « J’admire la loyauté dont Nancy a fait preuve à l’égard de ceux qu’elle aimait. Elle était entièrement dévouée à Sid, qui fut le pre- mier homme à l’accepter pour ce qu’elle était. Elle reçut de lui bien plus qu’elle n’espérait... » Pistols Les Sex « Les Sex Pistols étaient en rupture complète avec le passé. Ils représentaient l’émergence d’une nouvelle culture et d’une nouvelle génération du rock. Contrairement à ce que l’on a pu dire, ils n’ont pas été fabriqués par les médias, mais ont dû leur succès aux kids qui se retrouvaient dans leur musique. Cette musique, agressive et décapante, reflétait la violence et les aspirations de leur génération. Là n’était pas le problème, et en plus, c’était faux. C’étaient de bons musiciens qui avaient du charisme et ils étaient drôles. Ils étaient ce que le monde du rock attendait depuis des an- nées » (Caroline Coon, 1986 : The New Wave Punk Rock Explosion). 1975 Le groupe donne des concerts provocateurs et attire une ribambelle de fans, parmi lesquels le très coloré Bromley Contingent, un petit groupe de punks dont font partie Siouxsie et Billy Idol. Septembre 1976 Le premier festival Punk attire un millier de jeunes de toute l’Angleterre, au «100 Club» de Londres. Les Sex Pistols se produisent aux côtés des Clash, des Damned, des Buzzcocks, des Stinky Toys et de Chris Spedding. Sid Vicious joue de la batterie dans le groupe The Banshees formé par Siouxsie. La petite amie du chanteur des Damned est blessée par un éclat de verre : Sid Vicious est arrêté, puis relaxé. Octobre 1976 Après deux concerts à Paris (au Chalet du Lac), les Sex Pistols signent avec la firme EMI.

Instead of being consumed, they are historical artifacts to be studied and “read.” Or at least that is a common approach within cultural studies. But dated pop artifacts have another, living function. Throughout much of 1973 and early 1974, several working- class teens from west London’s Shepherd’s Bush district struggled to become a rock band. Like tens of thousands of such groups over the years, they learned to play together by copying older songs that they all liked. For guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook, that meant the short, sharp rock songs of London bands like the Small Faces, the Kinks, and the Who. Most of the songs had been hits seven to ten 1 2 Introduction years earlier. They also learned some more current material, much of it associated with the band that succeeded the Small Faces, the brash “lad’s” rock of Rod Stewart’s version of the Faces. Ironically, the Rod Stewart songs they struggled to learn weren’t Rod Stewart songs at all.

  • Originally Published on Theoralpandemic.Co.Uk The
    The influence of the Punk Movement on the world we live in today. Whether we accept it or not, the punk movement of the 1970’s has changed our lives today. From it’s beginnings with social discord and disillusionment with the government following Britain slipping into recession. The British people were suffering on a number of fronts. Terrorist attacks were taking place fairly regularly, with the IRA beginning their campaign of terror. Along with the recession came massive unemployment meaning the school leavers found finding a job hard. Soon from nowhere bands like The Sex Pistols sprang up and made one of the biggest marks on the scene. John Lydon would later explain the punk scene and explained where the country was at the time. “Early Seventies Britain was a very depressing place. It was completely run‐down, there was trash on the streets, total unemployment—just about everybody was on strike. Everybody was brought up with an education system that told you point blank that if you came from the wrong side of the tracks...then you had no hope in hell and no career prospects at all. Out of that came pretentious moi and the Sex Pistols and then a whole bunch of copycat wankers after us” A band called London SS managed by Bernard Rhodes broke up before performing live. The members of which went on to form The Damned and The Clash. Music formed the core of Punk, with it’s origins heavily entrenched in the Do It Yourself aspect of music, in fact, knowing how to play an Instrument was a bonus, but not entirely necessary.

  • ADAM and the ANTS Adam and the Ants Were Formed in 1977 in London, England
    ADAM AND THE ANTS Adam and the Ants were formed in 1977 in London, England. They existed in two incarnations. One of which lasted from 1977 until 1982 known as The Ants. This was considered their Punk era. The second incarnation known as Adam and the Ants also featured Adam Ant on vocals, but the rest of the band changed quite frequently. This would mark their shift to new wave/post-punk. They would release ten studio albums and twenty-five singles. Their hits include Stand and Deliver, Antmusic, Antrap, Prince Charming, and Kings of the Wild Frontier. A large part of their identity was the uniform Adam Ant wore on stage that consisted of blue and gold material as well as his sophisticated and dramatic stage presence. Click the band name above. ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN Formed in Liverpool, England in 1978 post-punk/new wave band Echo and the Bunnymen consisted of Ian McCulloch (vocals, guitar), Will Sergeant (guitar), Les Pattinson (bass), and Pete de Freitas (drums). They produced thirteen studio albums and thirty singles. Their debut album Crocodiles would make it to the top twenty list in the UK. Some of their hits include Killing Moon, Bring on the Dancing Horses, The Cutter, Rescue, Back of Love, and Lips Like Sugar. A very large part of their identity was silohuettes. Their music videos and album covers often included silohuettes of the band. They also have somewhat dark undertones to their music that are conveyed through the design. Click the band name above. THE CLASH Formed in London, England in 1976, The Clash were a punk rock group consisting of Joe Strummer (vocals, guitar), Mick Jones (vocals, guitar), Paul Simonon (bass), and Topper Headon (drums).

  • The Long History of Indigenous Rock, Metal, and Punk
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Not All Killed by John Wayne: The Long History of Indigenous Rock, Metal, and Punk 1940s to the Present A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in American Indian Studies by Kristen Le Amber Martinez 2019 © Copyright by Kristen Le Amber Martinez 2019 ABSTRACT OF THESIS Not All Killed by John Wayne: Indigenous Rock ‘n’ Roll, Metal, and Punk History 1940s to the Present by Kristen Le Amber Martinez Master of Arts in American Indian Studies University of California Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Maylei Blackwell, Chair In looking at the contribution of Indigenous punk and hard rock bands, there has been a long history of punk that started in Northern Arizona, as well as a current diverse scene in the Southwest ranging from punk, ska, metal, doom, sludge, blues, and black metal. Diné, Apache, Hopi, Pueblo, Gila, Yaqui, and O’odham bands are currently creating vast punk and metal music scenes. In this thesis, I argue that Native punk is not just a cultural movement, but a form of survivance. Bands utilize punk and their stories as a conduit to counteract issues of victimhood as well as challenge imposed mechanisms of settler colonialism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, notions of being fixed in the past, as well as bringing awareness to genocide and missing and murdered Indigenous women. Through D.I.Y. and space making, bands are writing music which ii resonates with them, and are utilizing their own venues, promotions, zines, unique fashion, and lyrics to tell their stories.

  • Steve Jones Les Paul Custom
    STEVE JONES LES PAUL CUSTOM With just one album, 1977’s Never Mind the Bollocks Here’s the Sex Pistols, Steve Jones revitalized rock guitar—shaking it back to its brutal three-chord roots, and defining the sound of punk. This thrilling, groundbreaking album catapulted the band’s four members into a chaotic ride that lasted all of one tumultuous year. Throughout, a white mid ’70s Les Paul Custom was defiantly slung over Jones’ shoulder as he delivered some of the raunchiest—and surprisingly melodic—playing the first wave of English punk ever produced. Over the years, this white Les Paul Custom with pin-up girl stickers has become one of rock and roll’s most iconic symbols. The Gibson Custom Shop Steve Jones Les Paul Custom is a painstaking recreation of this legendary instrument. The Gibson Custom Shop Steve Jones Les Paul Custom is Gibson’s heartfelt tribute to one of rock’s most unsung and unlikely heroes, and to the guitar he used to make history.
