Fall 2018 Geddes Japanese Movie Series

Tetsuo, the Iron Man 鉄男 (1989) 67 min. Somewhere between nightmare and a techno-fetishist's ultimate fantasy, this extraordinary film caused a sensation when it was first released. Concerning itself with a young man's gradual mutation into a metal-being, the film takes a surreal journey into a dark and disturbing world where D.I.Y. body transformations and post-human women with deadly robot arms form the fabric of a strange new reality. Director: TSUKAMOTO, Shinya (Tokyo Fist, Vital) Presented by the Department of World Languages and Literatures, Boston University Center for the Study of Asia and the Geddes Language Center.
