For the fourth edition of Lost Signal Cinema Club, Sam Peckinpah's most controversial film BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA hits the screen of Burrito Buoy.
Alfredo Garcia is about to become the most important man in Mexico. Wanted dead, a million dollar prize is up for grabs in exchange for his head.
With nothing to lose and looking to strike it rich, a desperate man begins a violent odyssey in search of Alfredo Garcia's head.
Best known for The Wild Bunch (1969) and Straw Dogs (1972), Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is the darkest, grittiest and most personal film in Sam Peckinpah's filmography. Torn to shreds by critics on release, the film has since been re-evaluted and is now often considered to be one of Peckinpah's very best, yet it remains criminally underseen.
Runtime: 112 mins. Cert: 18.
