Music Monday: REPO MAN

Rated R; 92min; Director:Alex Cox (1984)  

Location: Alamo Downtown

Due to unfortunate circumstances, director Alex Cox will no longer be able to attend this screening. But the show must go on! Especially when the show is REPO MAN!!

Here is a very special 35mm screening of what is considered to be The Ultimate Punk Film. In fact, REPO MAN could be called The Ultimate '80s Film, with its shipwrecked characters living low beneath the shadows of the crummy Reagan era.

Otto (Emilio Estevez) is a go-nowhere L.A. punk whose life takes a turn for the crazy when he's enlisted by a crew of self-destructive, nihilistic repo men (including Sy Richardson and Harry Dean Stanton). Meanwhile, a mysterious cop-evaporating force threatens to change the laws of science as we know it. Featuring a hilarious script and a soundtrack from Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Iggy Pop and Fear, plus enough zoned out new wave maniacs to fill a mental ward. There is no movie experience like this one, and director Cox is considered one of the reigning kings of cult film for a thousand reasons, all of which are on fearless display in this blue-collar masterpiece.
