A challenge: Describe Tetsuo With One Sentence


Describe Tetsuo The Iron Man with just one sentence or if you prefer, one word. I'll start:

"Blend equal measures of Videodrome, Eraserhead, Evil Dead 2 and sunshine acid or shrooms very carefully."

the director saw Akira and likes David Cronenberg.

Commentary on the industrial fetish the Japanese culture has.

How 'bout that one?

I did it over at the four word film review...

Salaryman becomes metal monstrosity.

But if I had to describe it to a person who hadn't seen it, then I'd say it's a nightmarish, relentless and dirty high-speed drive through the Japanese psyche and social sensibilities, both on a personal and national level. In black and white.

(hell, wasn't that a self-important pile of toss, eh?)

Or if I was actually trying to sell it to my friends in way that wouldn't make them think I was a pretentious twonk, I'd tell them it's a bloody rad and creepy film with Japanese metal loving freaks, no budget and an awesome clanky score. In black and white.

Eraserhead on an ungodly concoction of coke, acid and speed :)

reply

Eraserhead snorted some speed and listened a lot of Masonna.

"Sheds are bourgeois crap."
