Man and machine morph in Shin'ya Tsukamoto’s accelerated end exhilarating rollercoaster ride.
A hit-and-run incident brings two unlikely strangers together.
A young metal fetishist has recently taken to modifying his body by inserting scrap metal under his skin. Triggering a hysterical episode he runs in front of a car. After leaving the site of the crash, the driver – a salaryman – discovers his body beginning to undergo a transformation of its own. At first, metal sprouts from his skin, but quickly he begins to transform into something increasingly monstrous.
