“Metallic mayhem and graphic depravity fly thick and fast in the mind-melting 30-year-old Japanese body-horror benchmark.” —Lou Thomas, BFI
Virtually absent from theater screens since the 1990s, this underground classic from Japan is now available in a brand new restoration! Tetsuo: The Iron Man is filmmaker Shinya Tsukamoto’s unhinged hot take on humankind’s ongoing battle with technology; literally, as a man mutates into a walking, clanking man-machine that terrorizes himself and everyone around him. Warping elements of early Cronenberg, Lynch, and Raimi into a deliriously-paced cyberpunk cocktail, Tetsuo is a body horror manifesto that’s fueled by techno-erotic adrenaline and wrought iron perversion. Unmissable. 1989, Japan, DCP, in Japanese with English subtitles, 67 minutes.
