Foreshadows everything from the works of Shinya Tsukamoto and Takashi Miike to two decades of MTV music videos. -- Tom Mes, MIDNIGHT EYE
Fans of TETSUO: THE IRON MAN take note! An early landmark in cyberpunk cinema, BURST CITY is an experimental, dystopian musical from underground filmmaker Sogo Ishii that ignites a Molotov cocktail of MAD MAX-style carnage and real-life Japanese punk bands. In a derelict industrial wasteland on the outskirts of Tokyo, two rival bands and their unruly mobs of fans gather for a Battle of the Bands-style protest against a nuclear power plant, bringing them face-to-face with the yakuza industrialists that want to erase their turf.
