Tetsuo : Iron Man & etc.

Shinya Tsukamoto's chef d'ouevre. I didn't like this much when I caught it on British TV and am still in spilt mind about it. Sure, it bodes for the future with some innovative stroytelling but the message is kinda garbled. Same for the incongruent ending which is everything and the kitchen sink thrown on the lead character. Worth watching for the penis drill alone, if nothing else. And the pipe insertion into the ass looks painful. Techno-fetishism, anyone? Great soundtrack if repetitive.

As soon as I finish the Twin Peaks box set, Zatoichi and Tetsuo 2, I'll be making a trip to get Kwaidan, Bad Boy Bubby (not on the shelf but in the catalogue, still categorised as porn, though) and A Canterbury Tale (they have some Powell and Pressburger).
