My Take

Alex Cox is, to me, the great cult maverick of British cinema. Repo Man is one of my favourite oddball films of the 80s, a punk sci-fi satire that shouldn't work but absolutely does, and Sid and Nancy remains a raw, unflinching portrait of the Sex Pistols' doomed romance. What I admire about the Liverpool-born director is his uncompromising stubbornness, he made films exactly his way, which cost him studio careers but earned him devoted fans. His Walker is gleefully anachronistic and political. He's an Oxford-educated outsider who chose the margins, and honestly the margins are where the most interesting cinema lives.
