Tetsuo The iron man

So, we have just watched 'Tetsuo the iron man' in Tuesdays lecture. We were all asked to answer 2 questions when the film had finished, they were...

What was the film about?
What other works did it remind you of?

Fairly simple questions you would think if it wasnt for the utterly wierd and confusing film.

We were allowed to discuss in our small group of Multimedia, Theatre design and Design for film and TV. We came to a rough conclusion that the film was about a man with a metal fetish who didnt know the conocequences of inserting a metal rod into his leg. The film is also about revenge as the 'metal man' gets hit by a car which for some reason makes the driver begin to turn into scrap metal.
Other than these things i dont know what to think about the film. The constant drone and machinery sound in the background makes it almost unbearable to watch and gave me a headache.

The film reminded me alot of David Lynch's Eraserhead (1977) because of the style of filming and surreal feel. I must say i did not enjoy watching either film.
Another film it rememded me of was Tim Burtons Edward scissor hands (1990) as the character Johnny Depp plays looks very similar as the 'metal fetishist'

Thanks for showing me the film Joules but i dont think i will watch it again.
