From the Publisher
Book InformationAlex Cox lives life on the edge. He is not totally anti-Hollywood but believes there is something wrong with mainstream film-making. A true maverick director, Cox is one of the few British filmmakers of his generation (i.e the younger) to have made his reputation in the US. Injecting a punk sensibility into filmmaking, he has experienced both mainstream success and cult adulation, not to mention critical acclaim with films such as Repo Man and Sid and Nancy.
Alex Cox: Film Anarchist charts his development as a film-maker but also reveals obsessions which continue to dominate his increasingly rich and complex body of work. This biography is the result of Cox’s willingness to talk for the first time at length about his life and work and about his major influences.
