Once i was at my friend's house, and he set me up with this girl... so i was sitting on the couch with her- we were already flirty and drank a bit of wine, and we decided to watch a movie.
Him and his girlfriend were curious about this movie called "Tetsuo: the iron man" and thinking it would be a fun b-movie to make out in front of, we started it (also at that time it was fully free on youtube!).
After around 3 minutes i was completley captured by the movie, surroundings fading in the background, i was completley focused on that masterpiece! And to think that i was hoping it was a bad movie to have in the background while flirting! It felt like it lasted 5 minutes and an eternity simultaneusly, i was never capured so much by something, when the movie was over and the youtube suggestion took over the screen i felt like crying, i wanted more!
The next day, i decided to rewatch it, maybe my excessive emotional reaction was due to the 3 bottles of wine i drank, but it wasn't the case, watching it sober and alone was an even more amazing experience.
I don't really know what hit me so much about this movie, i guess it has a unique energy that nothing else really captures that clicked particularly with me, afterall it's a mix of things i like (artzy movies + body horror + industrial music + comedy + sto motion) packaged in a wonderfully crafted art piece. Also it says enough informations to let you understand everything- but leaves enough space to let the mind wandering.
I don't think i will ever find a movie that makes me so interested in it, not even tetsuo's sequels worked for me. I have other movies that i like a lot (moonlight, Vampire hunter D: Bloodlust, and fear and loathing in as vegas for example), but i never enjoyed a movie this much in my life. I am blessed that it exits!

Have you ever had a similar reaction to a movie? what movie was it?
And if you saw Tetsuo, did you like it ?
PS: at the end, the girl i met that night wasn't interested in me, probably insulting marvel for half an hour then ignoring her flirts because of a strange japanese film wasn't the best idea!

Oh, I love Tetsuo! It's genuinely one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm a massive fan of cyberpunk and body horror, so pretty much everything about this movie appeals to me. I love the visual of humans covered and interwoven wires and machinery, and I think it's delightfully trippy to watch.

there's definitely something really special about the way this film is shot. Especially the really cramped shots... I loved it
the stop motion sequences are definitely a bit goofy
