Biography
film director
Alex Cox
Alex Cox (Liverpool, UK, 1954) studied filmmaking at Bristol University and UCLA after dropping out of Oxford’s Law School. He made his first short, Sleep Is for Sissies, in 1980. Four years later, he directed his debut feature, Repo Man (1984), a sci-fi drama. His next movies, the western Straight to Hell (1986) and the biographic Sid & Nancy (1986) also contributed to forging his image as a cult director. He directed several more films, including Walker (1987), which competed at the Berlinale, The Winner (1996), Revengers Tragedy (2002), which was selected in Locarno, and Searchers 2.0 (2007), which was presented in the Orizzonti section of the Venice Film Festival.
