Shinya Tsukamoto&rsquo;s 1989 debut is the loudest quiet film you will ever see — a near-wordless industrial nightmare about a man turning into scrap metal, assembled frame by punishing frame in the director&rsquo;s own apartment with a cast of friends who doubled as crew. Nothing about its budget or its length should produce something this overwhelming. It does anyway, and thirty-five years later almost everything that has tried to copy it looks tame.</p>Fri, 13 Dec 2024 12:00:00 +0000
