| Somewhere between a modern-day nightmare and a techno-fetishist’s ultimate fantasy, this extraordinary black and white film from Shinya Tsukamoto caused a sensation when it was first released, and spawned a companion piece, Tetsuo II: Body Hammer.
Concerning itself with a young man’s gradual mutation into a metal-being, the film takes a surreal journey into a dark and disturbing world where D.I.Y body transformations and post-human women with deadly robot arms form the fabric of a strange new reality. Likened to the work of Lynch and Cronenberg, Tetsuo moulds explosive violence, bizarre sexual imagery and jet-black humor into a cinematic experience like you’ve never seen before. |
