Tetsuo: The Iron Man

This movie defied description when I saw it. Thankfully somebody did that for me, alas:

from mandiapple.com: 

Widely accepted as one of the most groundbreaking and seminal cyberpunk movies ever to have been produced in Japan, directed by and starring Shinya Tsukamoto, one of the most critically-lauded directors in the world, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, a super-short black and white movie (running at precisely 67 minutes) more suited to the art world than the cinema, is also notoriously one of the most difficult to both watch and indeed understand.

With its cacophonous, grating industrial soundtrack matching graphic, brutally hyper-kinetic imagery, and with one infamous scene in particular grabbing the public's attention (involving... errr, shall we say, the world's largest revolving drill bit and a sensitive part of the human anatomy ;-D), and deranged, incomprehensible plot,Tetsuo has often been referred to as an 'assault on the senses'. And yet on watching it, it's really hard to believe that a movie this far ahead of its time was actually produced in 1988.

Now with that being said, I immediately fell in love with this movie on the first viewing and plan on watching it again and again. This is really saying something considering I'm not one of those people who will watch the same movie a hundred times.

Easily in my top 5 of all time.
