964 Pinocchio (Japan, 1991)

Pinocchio 964, lobotomised cyborg sex slave, is thrown out onto the street by his owners because of his inability to maintain an erection. He is befriended by a criminally insane, memory-wiped, homeless girl. Meanwhile, the corporate entity who manufactured and sold him plots to kill him because of his malfunction.

An insane and surreal journey with some really crazy characters. The camera-work is reminiscent of the cult classic Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989) and makes it even more of a mad experience. It's considered to be one of the most important works in the genre of Japanese cyberpunk. 

Genre: Sci-fi/Horror
