About This Movie

The atmosphere is quite introspective, with Tsukamoto reflecting on his unique style and influences. His blend of body horror and sci-fi creates this unsettling yet fascinating vibe. You can really feel the weight of the practical effects he champions, too—there's a rawness that CGI just can't replicate. The pacing feels unhurried, allowing his thoughts to linger. If you're into the way he challenges narrative norms and plays with themes of transformation, it’s worth a watch.
