Burst City (Japan) on DVD BURST CITY TRAILER. Released on DVD last month by Discotek Media, here's director Sogo Ishii's fragmented, hyperkinetic proto-cyberpunk Burst City, a film I used to have parts of on the astonishing director's reel he gave me when I first visited Japan. Sogo Ishii and I talked about shooting a film in the Walled City of Kowloon. It was Ishii-san who first introduced me to the place. An extraordinary director and almost clinically perfect art-outsider, he inspired Takashi Miike, Shinya Tsukamoto, and (profoundly) the backdrop of my novel Idoru. I last saw him about eight years ago, among a swarm of ridiculously cute teenage Vancouver cosplay enthusiasts who'd turned out for a midnight showing of his films, for which he live-DJ'd a brutal one-off soundtrack. Unforgettable. I think he literally deafened some of them. I wish some achingly hip DVD operation would bring out a Sogo Ishii compilation. Nobody, but nobody, ever put the punk in cyberpunk the way he did. [Gibson Blog] 9:39:00 PM
