wacky japanese industrial body horror. the death of a metal fetishist inflicts a curse on his killer that gradually transforms his body into metal. uncompromising sound design + cold grating black and white visuals make it a really visceral watch. interesting subtext about industrialism and alienation and dysmorphia. kinda david lynchy

A 1988 anime masterpiece set in cyberpunk Neo-Tokyo. The film follows a group of biker-gang teens as they try to rescue their friend who has been captured by the Japanese government for experimental science. The end of the movie transcends all reason and is better felt than comprehended.

thinking of her, always and forever. particular favorites from her oeuvre are the 'silueta' series (selection depicted below), rupestrian sculptures, and body tracks (1982). taken from this world violently and far, far too soon.

in the vein of mj's Internet Archive rec and caardamom's follow-up on the Wayback Machine, i point you towards Ubuweb, which describes itself as "a pirate shadow library consisting of hundreds of thousands of freely downloadable avant-garde artifacts." i usually find myself perusing the short films or dance sections, but there's so much of the avant-garde to explore!

i think i'm a little late on this one because it came out near the end of last year, but got a few friends together to see this at a local indie theater. none of us had any idea what we were getting into, and i think that really worked, so i'm not going to share too much beyond saying that it was zany, funny, and shot beautifully.
