Thank God for Japan and South Korea. Hell, just Asia in general. Every time that you thought you’d seen everything, that you couldn’t see anything any more disturbing than what you’ve already seen, along comes some obscure Asian film to make you reassess that assumption.
This week’s fucked up movie just happens to be Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Trying to describe this film to someone who hasn’t already seen it is a losing battle, but I’ll try anyway. OK, imagine David Cronenberg and David Lynch had a Japanese love child who grew up only watching only Godzilla movies, Akira, silent avante garde films from the 20’s and 30’s, 80’s music videos and robot tentacle Japornamation…and you’ve kind of got an idea of what this film is like. The plot is sparse…well, I’m not even sure there is a plot. Anyway, after you’ve seen a man insert a metal bar into his leg and grow a giant spinning drill for a penis (I’m not kidding) you know you’ve seen something unique.
I don’t know where I find all of this shit, I don’t know what watching it says about me, but I do know I love it.

The question is…what did he do with that spinning drill penis thing?
Was this a cartoon?
Let’s just say…he used it.
And no, it wasn’t a cartoon. Obviously influenced by anime, but not actually animation, although parts are editing in a way almost to make it live action animation. It’s an extremely low budget film, looking much like a student film, although you can definitely tell that they put all of the money on screen.
