(Alex Cox, US 1984, 92 min., 35mm)
In this clever punk comedy that revels in the bizarre, alienated Otto (Emilio Estevez) quits his soulless supermarket job and loses his girlfriend, eventually finding a form of salvation as an apprentice to career repo agent Bud (Harry Dean Stanton). Bolstered by some of the best comedic writing of the ’80s, and a punk rock score featuring Iggy Pop, Circle Jerks, and Black Flag, Alex Cox’s directorial debut excoriates Los Angeles with playful rage. Co-presented by Manic Mondays ’80s Dance party (http://www. myspace.com/manicmondays).
