Richard Linklater on SID & NANCY

Somehow, our Jewels In The Wasteland II series is almost over. It seems like it just started. It’s been a really special year, and AFS Artistic Director Richard Linklater has pledged to do it again next year as well – next year the focus will be on the years 1987-1989. One of the ones we were all most excited to see on the big screen again was Alex Cox’ SID & NANCY (1986), and sure enough it proved to be even better than we all remembered.

Here’s Linklater’s introduction and the post-movie discussion from our SID & NANCY screening.
