The opening sequence to Alex Cox’s Repo Man is perfect punk pixelation – a distillation of a bitmapped nation. With Iggy Pop’s ripping fucksweat beat and the stringent static map motion, everything about the credit sequence moves, not unlike classic punk poster art. We throb into the blipping bullseye: a space that is nothing less than the beginning.
