Review of Repo Man (1984) by Lee T — 27 Nov 2007
Surrealistic journey into the sweaty heart of Los Angeles, through the back lots and down the side streets of the city, as a disenchanted youth attempts to find a place in the world via car repossession and alien abductions.
Cox digs on his love for west coast U.S. punk whilst he riffs on Reaganist family values. Emilio Estevetz pulls off his best role as the disillusioned youth, Harry Dean Stanton brings the craggy faced gravitas as chief repo man.
One of the pinnacles of eighties alternative cinema.
