Shinya Tsukamoto's gloriously bananas vision of urban metal fetishism across two films is an acquired taste to be sure. TETSUO: THE IRON MAN is less a linear plotted movie, and more a 67 minute monochrome bio-mechanoid performance art piece influenced by Cronenbergian body horror. The imagery is fast, absurdist and coupled with a cool industrial techno soundtrack reminiscent of early New Order. Apparently filmed over 18 months in his house, the conditions were so tough Tsukamoto's entire crew left before the shoot ended!
