Rubber's Lover (1996)

My rating - 5/10

A group of scientists are conducting experiments on human subects using mind altering drugs. After one of the subjects goes astray they have to find another person to take his place.

From Director Shozin Fukui who gave us the bizarre and often gross 964 Pinocchio, comes another slice of confrontational cyberpunk insanity. Filmed in B/W with franetic camerawork and an industrial soundtrack you'll either find it interesting, or too weird and gross to sit through. There's people writhing around and screaming a lot, bodily fluids flying everywhere, strange, often nasty looking experiments, strange characters and an healthy dose of WTF throughout.

Definitely not a film for everyone, but if you can handle this type of thing then there's some interesting stuff here. It's obviously filmed on a very low budget but they made the best of what they had to work with to create something pretty unique. I can't say it's a good film, but watch it on a double bill with 964 Pinocchio for a mind melting evening that will leave you questioning your sanity.
