IFWT #19 - Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)

We're taking a deep dive into Shinya Tsukamoto's truly bizarre, experimental body-horror Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Splicing filming techniques including stop-motion animation with an industrial score, Tetsuo tells the story of a Metal Fetishist's revenge on the man who, not only ran him over, but attempted to dispose of his body. The way he enacts his revenge? By slowly turning him into metal. Strange? We know.

 A film that conjures films of the past such as Frankenstein and the work of David Lynch and David Cronenberg, to tell a wholly original and singular piece of art.
