Snippet:
Shinya Tsukamoto’s movies can be an assault on the senses: from cyberpunk (“Tetsuo: The Iron Man”) to psychological horror (“Kotoko”) to samurai drama (“Killing”), they’re full of sudden eruptions of disorienting visuals paired with edits and sound design that hit you in places most filmmakers don’t know how to reach.
