Shinya Tsukamoto PART ONE (Tetsuo: Iron Man & Vital)
This time out on Directors Uncut, we have part one of a man I've previously described as a body horror sweetheart - what's more, this was the single most cursed recording we've ever had. Now if that's not emblematic of the production of one of today's featured movies I don't know what is. That director is the inimitable Shinya Tsukamoto.
Joined by Rabia (Ride my Omnibus & Cultured Curators), we look at one of the most infamous movies of its generation - and frankly, if we didn't do it, we'd be failing as a podcast - 1989's Tetsuo: The Iron Man. We touch on how many subtexts are buried within this dirty little film, the amazing music from
Chu Ishikawa and that "drill bit" scene. Then in a tonal 180, we looked at a film from much later in his career, 2004's desperately sad Vital. We touch on Tsukamoto's history of working with people outside of movies as well as Tadanobu Asano's killer run. Of which we have to mention Survive Style 5.
If you liked this episode, in the next outing we have part two on Shinya Tsukamoto coming next time. Please give the show a rating or review wherever you listen to your podcasts. Also, consider supporting us on Patreon where we have all manner of exclusive content. From bonus episodes of our sister podcast, Pop Screen, to Doctor Who articles, Unseen Asia Articles, the Last Night Podcast and a new run of limited series on horror franchises (which we are starting to record very soon)
