Sid & Nancy interview, Pindock Mews, February 1978
___________________________________________________________________________
Filmed by Lech Kowalski for Sex Pistols documentary D.O.A., while accompanying
British journalist Chris Salewicz on assignment for NME.


"That was a very traumatic experience for me. There was a feeling of doom and
death in that room. It's obvious in the film. I felt I was infringing on their privacy even
though they called me to come shoot them; they wanted attention at almost any cost.
I felt very uncomfortable as I was doing it.
"Unfortunately I shot the scene myself, with only the sound man as my assistant. If I
were able to do it again I would have another cameraman help me film it; I would
be able to think about the situation much more clearly without having to worry about
technical things. If I had had a paparazzo-type cameraman in that room we might
have stayed there for hours getting all kinds of crazy things. Sid and Nancy offered
to do a sex scene if we paid them some money.
The stark sequence at first ran a lot longer in the film.
"The impact was lost after a while; I could make a film just about Sid and Nancy with
the footage I have, but D.O.A. is structured with most scenes cut rather quickly. I
wanted to make sure Sid and Nancy have an impact- the colors, the way we lit it- and
that impact is lost after it's been on the screen for a long time; you start getting bored
with it. Sid and Nancy are very important to me."
Lech Kowalski
