Repo Chick Trailer.

In common with many right-thinking people out there, I've long counted Alex Cox's ‘Repo Man’ as one of my favourite films.

In fact, ‘Repo Man’ sits alongside ‘Night of the Living Dead’, ‘Vanishing Point’ and ‘If..’ on the very short list of films that, rather than just watching a coupla times, I could happily run on a loop, forever, and never tire of. Catch me in a particularly exuberant (read: drunken) frame of mind, and I’ll even try to tell you that ‘Repo Man’ is the ‘Citizen Kane’ of the post-punk era – the film upon which all subsequent unconventional/low budget genre movies should be judged.

And I guess Cox has followed a career path of suitably Wellesian capriciousness ever since, but however many times he’s managed to snatch failure from the jaws of victory, he’s nonetheless cemented himself first and foremost as one of the good guys in the world of cinema.

Now in 2010, he’s back with this;



Um…. yeah.
