Tetsuo The Iron Man

Tetsuo The Iron Man

Directed by Shinya Tsukamoto

This surreal Japanese cult sensation profiles a man who mutates into a metal being. Somewhere between a modern-day nightmare and a techno-fetishist's ultimate fantasy, this incredible film from Shinya Tsukamoto took viewers on a surreal journey into a dark and disturbing world where self-inflicted body transformations and post-human women form the fabric of a strange new reality. Likened to the work of David Lynch and David Cronenberg, TETSUO molds explosive violence, bizarre sexual imagery and jet-black humor into a cinematic experience unlike any you've seen.

This film is wonderfully shot and the start of a genre, but unfortunately the story doesn't make any sense.

what the absolute hell did i just watch? I genuinely have no words for this hour long acid trip. This is definitely something you should watch with friends or high or something because holy crap this was weird
