Summary: Major Work about a Major Artist
Comment: Alex Cox is one of the most interesting, entertaining and enlightening film-makers of our time. His Repo Man remains a major work, the first film to truly explore the hardcore punk underground and without a doubt the best film Emilio Estevez ever did. While that film and Sid & Nancy remain Cox's best known works, his many other films are all worthy of critical inspection and this book delivers. Stephen Davies obviously knows his subject, picking up the director's concerns about Central and South American politics, the military industrial complex and other burning issues. And we finally get to hear Cox's side of the controversy surrounding the screenplay for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The book explores each of Cox's films in depth and presents the director's opinions on them as well as interesting back-stage stories from those who worked on the films. Dennis Hopper's foreward is a riot and worth the price of admission in itself. This book is an incredible piece of work that any fan of cutting edge film should own.
