@Babcock Theatre July 27th, the historic Babcock Theatre flips our monthly Late Night screening into maximum overdrive, bursting through the screen like an explosive dynamo, morphing into the insane film that is TETSUO: THE IRON MAN! Celebrating its 35th anniversary, this legendary visual experience from Japanese director Shinya Tsukamoto is unlike anything you have ever seen before, with an intense mood and jarring cinematography that is equally reminiscent of German expressionism and 80s experimental industrialism, connected together by a bridge made of biomechanical abominations moving at breakneck speed! When a metal fetishist is driven mad by the maggots in the wounds he has made in his body to insert metal into, he runs through the streets at night and is struck by the car of a businessman and his girlfriend. The couple secretly dispose of the body and hope to move on with their lives, but the businessman soon finds that the fetishist now haunts him in the form of a strange curse that begins to painfully transform parts of his body into unrecognizable masses of iron and flesh! If you have been a fan of our Late Night series, you will absolutely not want to miss TETSUO: THE IRON MAN! There are reasons that this film has stood as an uncontested cornerstone of experimental cult cinema that must be seen to be believed, as descriptions cannot do it justice!
