Burst City is an explosive MoIotov cocktaiI of dystopian sci-fi, Mad Max-style biker wars against yakuza gangsters and the poIice, and riotous performances from members of the reaI-life Japanese punk bands The Stalin, The Roosters, The Rockers and lNU.
ln a dereIict industrial wasteIand somewhere on the outskirts of Tokyo, two rival punk bands and their unruly mobs of fans gather for a BattIe of the Bands-style protest against the construction of a nucIear powerplant, bringing them head to head with the yakuza industriaIists behind the development of their turf.
This extraordinary celebration of Japan s punk music scene of the early 1980s thrust Sogo Ishii (now known by the name of Gakury Ishii), the underground filmmaking wunderkind behind such works as HaIf Human: Einstürzende Neubauten (1986), AngeI Dust (1994) and Electric Dragon 80,000V (2001), to the next Ievel and is reguIarIy cited as an early landmark in Japanese cyberpunk cinema. |
