Some Big think piece about industrialization taking away the beauty of Japan wrapped around that part where a guy has a drill penis. This is a disgusting pile of nonsense - but that great kind.

The film's at its best in the first half when it just feels like a twisted industrial music video where each scene has a surprise more fucked up than the last. However, when the conflict becomes more concrete in the second half, I start to lose interest. Nonetheless, although the film's concept isn't too novel (evoking equal parts Videodrome and Eraserhead), its brutally mechanical execution feels quite original and makes for a fun, albeit bizarre, watch.

A combination of expressionist and surrealist influences, it seems, with plenty of effort expended in the production of images, but for this viewer the result is still only of limited interest.

Bizarre, unsettling, surreal, gruesome, kinetically shot in suitably grimy monochrome. Looks, sounds and feels like Eraserhead and The Fly mashed with Akira in a Nine Inch Nails/Aphex Twin music video. There's even a wee bit of jet black humour amidst the body horror. It's not easy to watch, but it is engrossing, and rather entertaining. This is going to give me nightmares.

Under the banner of a "Japanese cyberpunk" marathon I was introduced to this dark, surreal, visceral viewing experience. My brain constantly struggled to make sense of the chaotic metal mayhem yet was compelled to keep watching. Although I was enthralled by parts of the film's strange journey, large chunks left my eyebrows furled so hard I started actually not caring what I was looking at, and simply just started to get bored. However, it still felt like something worth seeing at least once.

One could assemble a laundry list of this film's influences and contemporaries - Eraserhead, Cronenberg, Akira, music video - and it wouldn't amount to how utterly unique this monstrosity is. I appreciate its commitment to being fast, hard, but brief; it's so excessive that anything more might be too much.

Be aware that it's an experimental film, with all the consequences (chaotic editing, disorienting transitions, self-indulgence in showing endless swarming piles of metal, etc.). But as an experimental film it is actually very watchable. It will also be completely arresting to those who really pay attention to how the effects in movies are made and filmed. The film is brilliant visually and very inventive. Comparisons to Cronenberg and Lynch are however not legitimate. Those guys made real movies
