Repo Man (M) Presented in 35mm
Repo Man at Revival House Perth
Welcome to the punk rock dystopia of Alex Cox's electrifying 1984 cult masterpiece! Emilio Estevez stars as Otto, a disaffected young punk who stumbles into the bizarre world of automobile repossession in Reagan-era Los Angeles. Under the guidance of veteran repo man Bud (Harry Dean Stanton), Otto discovers that this strange profession attracts society's most colorful outcasts and conspiracy theorists.
When a mysterious 1964 Chevy Malibu with a $20,000 bounty appears on their radar - a car rumored to contain alien corpses in its trunk - Otto finds himself caught between government agents, UFO cultists, and rival repo crews in a wildly unpredictable adventure through L.A.'s underground.
Cox's irreverent sci-fi comedy captures the anarchic spirit of early 80s punk culture with a soundtrack featuring Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, and Iggy Pop. The film's satirical take on consumerism, conformity, and Cold War paranoia creates a unique blend of social commentary and B-movie thrills that has influenced countless filmmakers.
