Repo Man

The life of a repo man is always intense! Alex Cox’s punk rock odyssey is a true Los Angeles original, perfectly encapsulating our city and attitude better than nearly any other film of the last 2,000 years. Emilio Estevez revolts from his no-future Reagan-era life, wanders the streets of LA and joins forces with Harry Dean Stanton to repossess cars, do speed, get into tense situations and generally live by the Repo Code. When a mysterious cop-zapping Chevy Malibu enters the picture, things truly get weird. Cox’s debut feature remains his ultimate genre smash of post-punk spunk, offbeat philosophy, teenage humor, wild sci-fi, and biting satire. Featuring career-great performances (also see legends Tracey Walter and Sy Richardson) and a raging soundtrack from Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Iggy Pop and Fear, we are excited to present Repo Man projected in glorious 35mm.
