A patron saint of punk cinema and borderless storytelling, Alex Cox remains one of the greatest subversives to ever pick up a camera, a rebel auteur who blends gonzo surrealism, anarchic irreverence, and blistering anticapitalist and anti-imperialist critique. From the radioactive deadpan of the sci-fi comedy REPO MAN to the hallucinatory fever dream of his audacious biopic WALKER, his films burn with a restless outsider energy, while smuggling politics, poetry, and outré humor into every frame.
