“These were all formidable films. Visually extremely striking, aurally
distinctive, wonderfully acted, violent, mystifying, perversely inspirational.”
– Alex Cox on the Spaghetti Western
Alex Cox is a British filmmaker, screenwriter, actor, and
nonfiction author praised for his idiosyncratic style and approach to scripts.
His long list of credits, ranging from major studio films to cult classics to
what he terms “micro cinema,” include Repo Man (1984), Sid and Nancy (1986),
Straight to Hell (1986), Walker (1987), Highway Patrolman (1991), Revengers
Tragedy (2002) and Searchers 2.0 (2007). He is the author of three film-related
books, X Films: True Confessions of a Radical Filmmaker, Ten Thousand Ways to
Die: A Director’s Take on the Spaghetti Western, and Alex Cox’s Introduction to
Film: A Director’s Perspective. He also writes regularly for The Guardian, Film
Comment and Sight and Sound. One of his most recent projects was the 2016
Western drama, Tombstone Rashomon, filmed at Old Tucson Studios.
