About this Event
Seen as a precursor to Japanese cyberpunk and a commentary on the class system, Burst City is a hallucinogenic, dystopian nightmare. Director Gakuryu Ishii’s (Crazy Thunder Road) radical camera movements, musical numbers, and aggressive editing create a non-linear narrative of crust punks rebelling against a nuclear power plant and bikers seeking revenge for M**der. Filmed during the height of Japan’s punk movement and starring the bands The Roosters, The Rockers, and The Stalin, this is an immersive experience like no other!

'GET PUNK'D' is a monthly series recognizing the obscurity and unruliness of punk subculture. Ranging from low-budget indie flicks to coming-of-age dramas, these films feature a heavy dose of gritty rock 'n' roll soundtracks, DIY methods, and anti-establishment attitudes.
