Description
The story of William Walker’s mid-19th century imperialist campaign in Nicaragua may sound like the material of a dry, tasteful, biopic, but in the hands of punk filmmaker Cox (Sid and Nancy, Repo Man) it’s anything but. Cox uses history to directly comment on American politics in 1987, morosely grounding the film’s craziness. Walker is essential cult film viewing. (VM)
