964 Pinocchio
ピノキオ√964
A memory-wiped and defective cyborg sex slave is tossed onto the streets and taken in by a homeless woman while his corporate creators hunt him down.
Why it matters
A grimy, cyberpunk body horror trip that fuses Pinocchio mythos with ’90s dystopian sleaze and practical effects grit.
- Early work from director Shozin Fukui, a key figure in Japanese underground cyberpunk cinema alongside Shinya Tsukamoto.
- Unrelenting industrial atmosphere drenched in grime, neon, and claustrophobic urban decay.
- Raw, visceral practical effects and makeup create a tactile sense of bodily malfunction and alienation.
- Perfect for fans of body horror and cyberpunk intersections—think Tetsuo: The Iron Man meets David Cronenberg’s darker impulses.
