Today, J.G. have the distinct pleasure of interviewing a true icon of independent cinema, writer and director Alex Cox. Known for his distinctive style and rebellious spirit, Alex Cox has made a significant mark on the film industry with his unique vision and uncompromising approach to storytelling.
Alex Cox first burst onto the scene in the mid-1980s with his cult classic (that we watched here on TIR movie night most recently) "Repo Man," a film that masterfully blends punk rock, science fiction and dark comedy. He followed this with the critically acclaimed "Sid and Nancy," a gritty and poignant portrayal of the tumultuous relationship between Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen. Throughout his career, Cox has consistently challenged conventional filmmaking norms, producing a body of work that is both provocative and thought-provoking.
Today we will not only be discussing Alex’s past works, but his latest vision, “My Last Movie”. My "last movie" is a Western version of Nicolai Gogol's "Dead Souls' '. According to Alex, Dead Souls, “..is a great book, full of irony, mystery and meaning.” Alex is once again bypassing Hollywood by starting a crowdfunding campaign. Wherever you are listening to or watching there is a link in the description to contribute.
Join us as we sit down with Alex Cox, a maverick filmmaker whose work has left an indelible impact on the world of cinema. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his films, this conversation promises to be a fascinating journey into the mind of one of the most original voices in contemporary filmmaking.
