TETSUO: THE IRON MAN (1989)
Dir. Shinya Tsukamoto
with John Wayne Comunale
We're talking Houston's most interesting bathrooms, pervasive erotic breathing and the frame-by-frame humanity within Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Tsukamoto's obsessive production process, endlessly developing interpretations of the film, juvenile show-crashers, insurance policies ruining movies and movies ruining friendships, on-the-road book sales and the convention circuit, the independent artist grindset, meat space vs online audience, the problems with "doing it for the love," writing with audience in mind, meat and potatoes (???), redneck parking, Dungeons & Dragons, and more.
