A cult movie from the 1980s, Tetsuo follows a man who accidentally hits a metal fetishist with his car, after which his body goes through mutation and metamorphoses into a kind of metal creature. As Time passes, the man starts coming out unscathed from violent attacks. Meanwhile, the metal fetishist is seeking revenge and the two engage in battle through the streets of Tokyo. The industrial soundtrack accompanying the chilling images in this film, shot on 16mm, further enhances the visual world and atmosphere the film presents.
