“No real need to introduce Alex Cox's 1984 classic Repo Man. A rightly lauded cult classic, the film captures its moment perfectly. The plot concerns the adventures of car repossession agent (Emilio Estevez) and his sidekick Otto (Harry Dean Stanton), who find themselves entangled in a web of intrigue concerning a repossession bounty on a car with top secret cargo in the trunk. But it's really not about the plot with this film. Cox goes in whichever direction takes his fancy and this imbues the film with an exuberant meandering quality, shot through with a healthy dose of fuck you attitude, that gives it its edge.”
