In this relentless Japanese cyber-punk cult classic, an ordinary office worker wakes up to find that he is becoming a machine hellbent on violence. With heavy flavors of Lynch’s surrealism, Cronenberg’s body horror, and Sam Raimi’s intense visual style, TETSUO: THE IRON MAN is a wildly paced adrenaline rush to the head. Virtually unavailable to show in theaters since the ‘90s, this film has garnered a huge following on the late-night underground film circuit and is being presented in a new restoration. In Japanese w/ subtitles. Rated R.
