This is a difficult film, full of abhorrent behaviours and unbearable tensions – but at the same time it shows a profound respect towards its troubled subject, and therefore towards its viewers as well.
(Country: Japan; Year: 2011; Director: Shinya Tsukamoto; Writer: Shinya Tsukamoto, from an original story by Cocco; Stars: Cocco, Shinya Tsukamoto)
Tsukamoto's preoccupations with meta(l)morphosis, body horror and unchecked masculinity remain firmly in place, as does the writer/director's way with outrageous images and ideas.
(Country: Japan; Year: 1992; Director: Shinya Tsukamoto)
The film's vision of creation and destruction as coexisting drives within the steely heart of man has lost none of its arresting force over the years – or been outdone by Tsukamoto's two sequels.
(Country: Japan; Year: 1989; Director: Shinya Tsukamoto)
