This Week’s Highlight:

A quintessential cult film of the 1980s, Alex Cox’s singular sci-fi comedy “Repo Man” (1984) stars the always captivating Harry Dean Stanton as a weathered repo man in a desolate Los Angeles, and Emilio Estevez as the nihilistic middle-class punk he takes under his wing. The job becomes more than either of them bargained for when they get involved in repossessing a mysterious — and otherworldly — Chevy Malibu with a hefty reward attached to it. Featuring the ultimate early-eighties LA punk soundtrack, this grungily hilarious odyssey is also a politically trenchant take on President Reagan’s domestic and foreign policies. On 4K UHD + Blu-ray, with new 4K digital restoration, approved by director Alex Cox, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack. One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features. Read more here.From The Criterion Collection.
