Short description
A "metal fetishist", driven mad by the maggots wriggling in the wound he's made to embed metal into his flesh, runs out into the night and is accidentally run down by a Japanese businessman and his girlfriend. The pair dispose of the corpse in hopes of quietly moving on with their lives. However, the businessman soon finds that he is now plagued by a vicious curse that transforms his flesh into iron.
What's left behind the scenes
- The DVD release included “Tetsuo, the First Version,” which was 10 minutes longer than the original 67-minute version.
- An adaptation of a play that Shin'ya Tsukamoto (director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, and production designer) wrote and staged during his student years.
- Many actors and crew members left the project; in the end, only Tsukamoto himself and Tomorowo Taguchi remained until the completion of the project.
- The film was shot in black and white because its creators perfectly understood how difficult it would be to watch in color, and they wanted the audience to “at least sit through to the end of the film.” This decision proved extremely beneficial in obtaining a rating, as blood was difficult to distinguish from objects in the frame.
- Many actors and members of the film crew left the project, and only Tsukamoto and Tomoro Taguchi worked on it until the end.
