SYNOPSIS

ABOUT THE FILMS:


SID AND NANCY, Dir. Alex Cox, 1986, 112 Mins., Park Circus, UK

 

A harrowing look at the bizarre, self-destructive and curiously compelling relationship between Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols and Nancy Spungen, an American groupie. Docu-realism laced with allegorical dream images.

 

FORMAT: 35mm

 

REPO MAN, Dir. Alex Cox, 1984, 92 Mins., Universal, USA

 

After frustrated punk rocker Otto Maddox quits his dead-end supermarket job, he’s hired by Bud to work as an apprentice “repo man.” In no time, the rookie is caught up in a series of off-the-wall adventures involving government agents, UFO cultists, hired thugs and a lobotomized nuclear scientist, culminating in the search for an incredibly valuable ’64 Chevy containing a secret that can change the course of civilization overnight! An explosive action-packed cult classic that combines the seedy underworld of car repossession with the quirky realm of science fiction.

 

FORMAT: DCP
