  Alex Cox | The A.V. Club
Cox's next film, 1986's Sid & Nancy, was another punk masterpiece, a biopic of doomed Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and lover Nancy Spungen that seethed with dark energy.
Cox has since directed the acclaimed Mexican drama Highway Patrolman, the 1996 comedy The Winner (re-cut in the U.S. without Cox's permission, leading him to remove his name from the credits), a documentary on Akira Kurosawa first screened in the U.S. on the Independent Film Channel, and the still-unreleased Three Businessmen.
Alex Cox: It was either Devo at the Starwood, which was their first Los Angeles performance, or it was an aborted gig at the Elk's Lodge Hall in Los Angeles, which I think The Go-Go's played at.

The widest angle scenes are probably the burning of the city at the end, but this is at night, and not that much of the city proper es discernable at night.

Cox later expertly engineered a harrowing portrait of addiction with "Sid and Nancy" (1986), his portrait of punk rocker Sid Vicious and his doomed affair with groupie Nancy Spungen, and garnered mixed reviews for his ambitious, allegorical biopic "Walker" (1987), about William Walker, the would-be American dictator of Nicaragua in the 1850s.

 Interview with Alex Cox and Tod Davies
Alex Cox is one of the most consistently interesting filmmakers of the past 20 years.
Although Cox has completely disowned it, referring to it as “terrible”, it has a demented, cartoonish aesthetic and a compulsive unpredictability that is far from uninteresting.
Cox's passionate and intelligent introductions are inextricably linked to these experiences – he was one of my first film history teachers, and always a very good one.
