Imagine what a hybrid of Eraserhead and Akira would be like and you have a pretty good sense of the overall feel. Definitely interesting but I wish the director hadn't chosen to make the movie in English since, for me, all it did was highlight how awful the acting was.
Have you seen what I think is the original film that The Bullet Man is a sequel to: Tetsuo: The Iron Man? A fantastic film, and essentially what you described. If you have, how do the two compare? Tetsuo: The Bullet Man has been on my watch list for quite some time but the freight train of experimentality in the first film makes me hesitate for when I'm really ready.
