Rubber’s Lover (1996) DVD9
on August 27th, 2021 at 11:59
Often interpreted as a prequel to 964 Pinocchio, Rubber's Lover details a clandestine group of scientists who believe they have found a way to create the perfect super human with psychic capabilities by injecting captive human guinea pigs with ether and subjecting them to metal torture. The whole project is riddled with problems however as one of the scientists becomes hooked on the ether, and the projects investors want to shut them down. It isn’t long before the scientists last shackles of sanity are completely shed in what can only be described as a pus drenched industrial orgy of noise and death.
Like many of the Japanese cyberpunk films of the 1990’s, Rubber’s Lover focuses upon themes of transhumanism and explores it through ideas of post-human sexuality, fetishism and death, all set against a grimy industrial noir background.

Extras:
-- Geroristo, an 8mm color short film that Fukui shot nine years earlier. Running about ten minutes in length, the film doesn’t have much of a narrative and functions more as a series of strange images pieced together. Something we can’t see follows a girl onto a subway and in turn, she vomits everywhere (something that will be all too familiar to those who have seen 964 Pinnochio and to a lesser extent, the feature on this disc as well).
