* anyone has a copy of "beyond ultra violence" ? is it any good ?

I quite enjoyed it, although he goes a little overkill on the visual effects at times. There's a review of it here: http://dvdholocaust.com/review.php?id=366

I scanned some swedish rental covers at work while having nothing else to do... Joe and Fight for Your Life are some of them. I can also recommend Savage Weekend for those into William Sandersons more violent side.

Kristian, got any recommendations when it comes to italian "youth gone wild" flicks? I've seen Violence For Kicks, Day Of Violence, Savage Three, Season For Assassins and Young, Violent & Dangerous so far but i know there is a few more out there!

check CLASS OF 1984, despite the cheesy 80's punk look it rules and has great soundtrack.

you can't miss Italy's fascio-exploitation classic SAN BABILA ORE 20, over the top and unrealistic, but a guilty pleasure look to neo-fascist dwelling between ideology and crime in a very cold Milan during the 70's.

I have met a couple of the real persons of that "scene" and we laughed a lot about it.

San Babila Ore 20 is great one. Last week I rented "Kings of Crime" by Michele Placido and I must say Italians still prove they can deliver! Interesting trivia is the viewer get to see a glimpse in one of the main characters sports bag which carries brass knuckle and Julius Evola book...
Depla, have you seen I ragazzi della Roma violenta?
For tonight I will give Dupont La Joie / Rape of Innocence a second watch, this time with english subtitles...

Matthias - I'll list some stuff when I get more time!

I was going to suggest it yet. Cheesy and sleazy, nothing makes sense, complete trash cult, especially the impotent fascist who get aroused only playing flipper.
I have used a bunch of samples of that too.

REPO MAN

Long time no see. I love it. Anyone seen any more films by Alex Cox? Recommendations?

tiny_tove · March 05, 2010, 04:52:07 PM

repo man is cult, to date his best.
there seems to be a sequel (repo chick), but I don't know anything about it.

well I would suggest the weird modern western extravaganza "straight to hell", with a plethora of celebrities and "Sid and nancy" although the music part sucks. The actor playing jonny rotten looks ugly and has a horrible voice.

I have recently read good things about Death and the compass, mostly due to my Peter Boyle fixation, but I don't know anything about it.

Gary Oldman?

I hear super skank Courtney Love was in it as well. Not sure I could hanld ethat however small the dose of her.

ConcreteMascara · March 05, 2010, 08:19:14 PM

I generally like Gary Oldman but Cid and Nancy was pretty terrible. The acting was overkill in the extreme. I think the target audience is "punk" teen girls.

I think Repo Man is the only one I have seen from Alex Cox. A film festival here in Brussels is showing a bunch of Alex Cox films (http://offscreen.be/thefestival/alex-cox) now in March and I'm wondering which ones to see. They're also showing some Japanese exploitation and spaghetti westerns so I am sure there will be a few to check out at the festival.

Council flats, redbricks, crackwhores, gay bars, East end, West end, job centers, abusive husbands, loneliness, killing for company, ecc. ecc.
The perfect crossover between realistic UK flicks and more stylish atmospheres, also thanks to the minimalistic yet effective soundtrack composed by THE THE.
Peter Ferdinando is fucking amazing. Quite inspired by the late Dennis Nielsen, yet with a nerdier/semi-autistic behavior, a complete antisocial person, eternal unemployed who never knows how to fit with the others, although longing for company.
Nothing to do with marvel-styled bolckbuster serial killer super-hero. This is a story of loneliness, sexual confusion and despair, yet with some pretty funny moment.
Some of the side character suck and are not credible, but Ferdinando steals every breath whenever he is present.
