Anger's stripped down auto-erotic short, in which a young man polishes his car to the sound of ‘Dream Lover’. A seminal film that took forward the idea of cinema as a fetishistic tool.

Kustom Kar Kommandos appears in ICO Essentials: Modernity, one of 6 touring programmes highlighting the classics of avant garde film and video.
