Hey folks, Harry here... With a trailer for TETSUO: THE BULLET MAN... Now, for you younger readers, that... gosh... were not even alive back in 1989, when the great Shinya Tsukamoto hit the world upside the head with his startlingly brilliant cult horror/sci-fi film... TETSUO, THE IRON MAN... Let me tell you, there have been very few films that equal the graphic wildness of that 67 minute long bit of Japanese awesome. I saw that film at Dobie Mall - and could barely process it. There just wasn't anything to compare it to. In the years since - it essentially stands apart.
With TETSUO: THE BULLET MAN, it seems that Shinya Tsukamoto is making a bit of a play for Western audiences with the casting of Eric Bossick... but the rest of the film feels very very Tsukamoto... and the trailer tells us that Trent Reznor is scoring, sadly it is just the end titles in reality... Though if he had scored the whole film, it sure would seem more appropriate to my NINE INCH NAILS memories than he would seem on a film about a website (but boy did he kick that movie's ass!). So old timers... youngsters... Here's TETSUO: THE BULLET MAN...
