"I would like viewers to project themselves into my films and feel that they are between life and death."
SHINYA TSUKAMOTO
In more than thirty years of career, director Shinya Tsukamoto has established himself as one of the masters of Japanese transgressive cinema with radical and nervous works such as Tokyo Fist , Bullet Ballet , A Snake of June or the two parts of Tetsuo , who laid the foundations of the cyberpunk movement in Japan. Frequently exploring themes of urban alienation, physical transformation and psychosexual obsession, his uniquely aesthetic films transcend genres and defy direct classification, emulating Quentin Tarantino, Darren Aronofsky than Gaspar Noé. This Blu-ray™ Collector's Box 4 brings together eight feature films and two short films from Shinya Tsukamoto's outstanding filmography, including his most recent work, the samurai drama Killing .
