<\/a><\/p>\nNYAFF organizers are using their 15th Anniversary as an excuse to screen a 27\u2010year\u2010old film they\u2019ve never shown before, but since when did they follow any rules? This hard\u2010rocking audio\u2010visual bullet to the brain puts the punk in cyberpunk and they have wanted to show it for years \u2013 so why not now? Shinya Tsukamoto\u2019s black\u2010and\u2010white, pulsing, heavy\u2010metal nightmare is about a man who is driven insane with pleasure when he sticks a piece of metal into his leg, and a salaryman who wakes up with metal spikes growing out of his cheek. From there on it\u2019s all swooning lo\u2010fi cinematography, drill penises, and some of the most nightmarish imagery ever put on film. It was unlike anything that had ever come out of Japan, and upon its release, Tetsuo wiped the floor with all other Japanese movies, spawned two sequels, and made Tsukamoto one of world cinema\u2019s biggest stars. NYAFF says it\u2019s like David Lynch\u2019s Eraserhead remade by David Cronenberg, but that doesn\u2019t even begin to describe the high weirdness this movie will cause to explode out of your brain like a biomechanical orgasm.<\/p>\n
