Metal nightmare

Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)

Written and directed by Shinya Tsukamoto this film stars it's director as well as Kei Fujiwara and Tomorowo Taguchi. A businessman and his girlfriend knock down a metal fetishist then leave him to die in the woods.

This film is a cyberpunk nightmare that while completely bizarre and made on the cheap is full of crazy images. You could easily read the plot as a metaphor for a man that is uncomfortable with his genre and/or sexuality and I think it works really well that way. While the film maybe a little on the short side it works really well and is unlike anything else you will see.

5/5
