    Tetsuo [Film Series]  Production Year

    Iron Man  (2008)

    I've seen 1 and 2 i think..the "Super Furry Animals" namecheck two on "Rings around the world"..With all the current talk of "Iron Man" and the undeniably crazed Robert Downey,i am reminded of  these crazy black and white fantasies ,with a manic inventive style ,a high camp and extremely dark humour... Cross "Eraserhead",with "Scrapheap Challenge" in Japan,and you've got a visual start point...uses good old Ray Harryhausen "stop frame" animation...  These may have been director Shinya Tsukamoto's  first films,they do seem like student /art school work (and there's nothing wrong with that)..if you're in the mood they are just hilarious..fixated with the good old "man as machine"/"man becoming machine" metaphor,alongside very direct sexual references,all served up in the most literal style imaginable... Tetsuo!!! Hai!!
