‘Tetsuo’ (18) (dir. Shinya Tsukamoto) The cult Japanese cyber-punk film about an ‘Iron Man’ and his fetish for scrap metal and turning himself into a machine. A strange man known only as the “metal fetishist”, who seems to have an insane compulsion to stick scrap metal into his body, is hit and possibly killed by a Japanese “salaryman”, out for a drive with his girlfriend. The salaryman then notices that he is being slowly overtaken by some kind of disease that is turning his body into scrap metal, and that his nemesis is not in fact dead but is somehow masterminding and guiding his rage and frustration-fueled transformation.

The Film Station is a fortnightly programme of FREE film screenings at Metal, Edge Hill Station, with films being nominated by attendees. This is an informal event that gives opportunity to watch and discuss good movies in a friendly atmosphere. Screenings start at 6.30 pm, and you can bring your own refreshments.
