Tetsuo: Iron Man

Filmed in stark, black and white 16mm, Tetsuo: Iron Man concerns your seemingly average, everyday Japanese Salaryman (Tomoroh Taguchi), who unexpectedly finds a metal wire sticking out of his chin one morning. As he attempts to pull it out, he starts to pour blood. The merging of man and metal has begun. Meanwhile, a metal fetishist (Shinya Tsukamoto), inserts pieces of scrap into his flesh, runs into the street madly, and is hit by a car driven by our Salaryman. The two men's lives are now sealed together (and sealed quite literally), with a series of rapid nightmarish images, showing pipes, wires and rusty scrap growing everywhere on them, until they merge together on a mission to destroy the world.

Tetsuo: Iron Man is a punch in the gut. It's grand cyberpunk filmmaking, but it is so much more than that. It's short, and to the point, and is as frenetic as all get out - jump cuts, flashes of disturbing images, and the incorporation of several stop-motion techniques. It's hard to really talk about - it's stream of conscience, and very visceral. This is filmmaking that should be seen and discussed. It's the type of movie that's sprung on you, and gets caught in your eye. Once you get it out, you're scarred - but not necessarily hurt. It's a good pain.

The disc from Image is a good-looking one. The film is a very grainy black and white, so you're not going to get a crystal clear film. I did detect some noise in the blacks on the disc - and it's a common problem with all three of the Tsukamoto films reviewed here. It doesn't distract - but what are you gonna do, you have to point it out. Video and audio wise, it's an okay DVD. I do have one complaint about a typo on the back, listing a short film called Drum Struck that is supposed to be included. It's not on the disc, so don't look for it. I tried everything to find it, refusing to believe it was just a typo. But it's a typo, folks - a typo that includes frickin' credits on the back of the box. So, aside from credits to a film not on the disc -- there aren't any extras. I personally would have liked some extras.
