Tetsuo The Iron Man [1989 ] DVD rip Audio japan ..eng hard sub
Short little masterpiece, I would say (to start with). Think unglamorous, monochrome (entirely B&W), grainy and dark. And gory.
Subjacent theme is a sort of post-industrial grudge. A man obsessed with metal fetishism, is ran over by a car and dies (at least, I think he died). The car is driven by this salary man and his woman who, instead of helping, start having sex in front of the (dead or alive by then) body. They dump the body into a ravine and he suffers a mutation. Or to put into alchemical terms, a transmutation. At the same time, the salary man starts to hallucinate and sees himself changing in real life, culminating in his metamorphosis into a pile of retorted metal - or something to that effect. this movie is brilliant, regardless of plot, or metaphor, because it's a trip (or a treat, for some)
The film is about love being something that is found on the inside, and Tsukamoto wanted to express this by finding the most difficult-to-love character that he could.The movie concerns itself with his gradual mutation and how it affects his r'ship with his g/f. It's also about how industrialism ruins his life, making him unloveable.
The film is directed, produced and starred by Shinya Tsukamoto - as the fetishist guy. We recently saw him as the main character in Takeshi Shimizu's "Marebito"
Tetsuo: The Iron Man is a 1989 Japanese Cyberpunk film by cult-film director Shinya Tsukamoto produced by Japan Home Video. This, his third film, is an extremely graphic but also strikingly-filmed fantasy shot in the same low-budget, underground-production style as his first two films. Tetsuo established Tsukamoto internationally and created his worldwide cult following. It was followed by Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992) and the upcoming Tetsuo: The Bullet Man (2010
This was Tsukamoto's first movie to be shot on 16mm, all of his previous work being done with Super-8 cameras.
Soundtrack is brilliant and the film edition is amazing, I must say. From the metamorphose onwards, the story enters a frantic pace and things start to gradually make sense
Japanese Cyberpunk is a genre of underground film produced in Japan starting in the late 1980s. The genre is not very closely related to Cyberpunk as understood in the west — the focus is industrial and incomprehensible, not high-tech and scientific. There are no computers in Japanese Cyberpunk. The genre is primarily defined by the movie Tetsuo: The Iron Man
