Repo Man

dir. Alex Cox
USA, 1984

Great B-movie-punk-sci-fi-slacker something-film. Endlessly well-written, great performances, a brilliant soundtrack, and heavy heavy heavy with revealing stuff about American culture - the food and drink packaging an eerily similar design to Tesco's value range (plain white packets, blue writing - "FOOD", "DRINK"), chasing money, the weird cult-like spirituality, strange observing government agencies, street-corner philosophers. This is a brilliant film.
