A Snake of June (2002)
In 1988, Shinya Tsukamoto made the cyberpunk salaryman-automaton cult classic Tetsuo: The Iron Man, and it was good. Fourteen years later, he revisits some similar material in what for all intents and purposes appears to be his attempt to remake One Hour Photo in the vein of Zalman King. It's not so good. In fact, it's fucking boring. Is Tsukamoto really this one-note and I just never noticed before? I remember liking Tetsuo II and Tokyo Fist, but maybe those opinions need to be revised.
Grade: C-
