Leave your thoughts about Rubber's Lover.
| DVDTalk.comBill GibronRubber's Lover is just a mess of a movie, an attempt at pushing the boundaries of acceptable cinema that ends up making a mockery of its own self-important idealism. |
| User ReviewBuck RHardly odd at all. Just your typical day-to-day story. See it with your family during the holidays. |
| User ReviewPrivate Uthis movie is awsome. Fukui better come out with another movie soon |
| User ReviewCJ CI don't know, I liked it more than it's predecessor, but still, I think there are better contributions to the genre. |
| User ReviewSiqi Zgod can I tell you how hilarious this was, can I? |
| User ReviewCalvin WNot knowing what we are getting ourselves into, this film turned out to be amazing! Film noir/cyberpunk/erotica. A true piece of avante garde material. |
| User ReviewAndrew BYeah, this one leaves you spinning. It is a great film and I find it to be stylistically grand and profound- really. It's hard to read into but I felt this was the point because you are left to judge it subjectively. Also, the chaos of things reflects the ether induced state, so I love it. I found a lot of meaning in it, and even moved me at times which is odd because I couls see this being a rare case. It is so out there and different, I saw no main character or narrative, a rare film indeed with beautiful shots. |
| User ReviewJoanna WArtsy, twisted, and bloody is the way to describe Rubber's Lover. Great for fans of bizarre horror flicks that require repeated watching to understand. Strange, yet somehow very cool. |
| User ReviewRichard DScientist, attempting to induce psychic abilities in people get the results they're looking for by strapping a fellow (unwilling) scientist down, shooting him full of either, and blasting incredibly loud sounds in his face. Needless to say, the unwilling scientist is not happy, and with his newly acquired power, shit goes down. Full of graphic violence, perversions, oddness, and lots of noise, Rubber's Lover has got something for everyone (and by everyone I mean people like me, which is essentially about twenty people). This movie wears it's Tsukamoto influences on it's ragged, bloody sleeve. Once the insanity starts it doesn't let up. This isn't a movie so much as a hostile assault on the senses. A must see for fans of graphically, high paced, weirdness. |
| User ReviewMARS DFukui draws more similarities with Tetsuo than last time with his cyborg sex slave. Whatever happened to the director after this, we will never know, but he left a tremendous "shock" legacy, saying "cyberpunk ain't dead!". Heavier in style and easier on screams, puss and gore, Rubber's Lover (could be confused with a porn title) is mindblowing greatness, only developed with a less convincing execution. But how can I complain? This was good. It has been called "Etherhead". 83/100 |
