The film centers on an unnamed Japanese salaryman who wakes up to find pieces of metal sprouting from various parts of his body and becomes haunted by visions of metal-oriented sexual fantasies. As the man steadily becomes a hybrid of man and machine, he develops a connection with a victim from a hit-and-run accident, who is undergoing a similar transformation. ## Credits - **Director of Photography:** [Kei Fujiwara](https://cinepixo.com/people/kei-fujiwara), [Shinya Tsukamoto](https://cinepixo.com/people/shinya-tsukamoto) - **Director:** [Shinya Tsukamoto](https://cinepixo.com/people/shinya-tsukamoto) - **Screenplay:** [Shinya Tsukamoto](https://cinepixo.com/people/shinya-tsukamoto) - **Producer:** [Shinya Tsukamoto](https://cinepixo.com/people/shinya-tsukamoto) - **Editor:** [Shinya Tsukamoto](https://cinepixo.com/people/shinya-tsukamoto) - **Original Music Composer:** [Chu Ishikawa](https://cinepixo.com/people/chu-ishikawa) ## Cast - [Kei Fujiwara](https://cinepixo.com/people/kei-fujiwara) - [Tomorowo Taguchi](https://cinepixo.com/people/tomorowo-taguchi) - [Renji Ishibashi](https://cinepixo.com/people/renji-ishibashi) - [Shinya Tsukamoto](https://cinepixo.com/people/shinya-tsukamoto) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
