Tetsuo: The Iron Man (Japan)
Director: Shinya Tsukamoto
Footage: 67min
Year: 1989
¡¡
It starts with a bizarre merging of flesh and metal and accelerates into a hyper-hallucinatory state where springs, wires, and solder erupt fountain-like from a man's body. As the "Iron Man" mutates uncontrollably into a walking, clanking man-machine, terrorized by his new body parts, sex becomes dehumanized and mechanical.
As the man evolves into a strange hybrid of man and machine, he also develops a telepathic connection with another of his kind. The two engage in a violent, destructive battle throughout the streets of Tokyo, accompanied by an appropriately industrial soundtrack. They will rust the whole world.
