The Cinema of Shinya Tsukamoto
Japan's most influential and unique filmmaker!
With Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Tetsuo II: Body Hammer, Tokyo Fist
and Bullet Ballet, Shinya Tsukamoto has become one of the most
widely praised filmmakers in Japan today. Edgy, intense and
overwhelming, Tsukamoto's films are nightmarish visions of a
world in which man's greatest enemy is his own environment of
cold concrete and twisted technology.
Shinya Tsukamoto rejuvenated the Japanese film industry, paving
the way for an entire generation of young Japanese directors
like Takashi Miike (Audition) and Hideo Nakata (Ringu). He has
been credited as a direct influence on modern Western cinematic
masters including Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill), David Fincher
(Fight Club) and the Wachowski Brothers (The Matrix).
With a foreword by Takashi Miike, the book is illustrated with
hundreds of stills, behind-the-scenes pictures and rare photographs
from Tsukamoto's private collection, Iron Man: The Cinema of
Shinya Tsukamoto reveals the mind, the methods and the madness
of Japan's most influential and unique filmmaker.
