Rubber’s Lover
- Tuesday, Jun 30, 2026, 7:30pm
Screening location: Northwest Film Forum – 1515 12th Ave, Seattle
30th anniversary screening of the cyberpunk nightmare underground classic in memory of makeup effects artist Yoshihiro Nishimura (TOKYO GORE POLICE) and director Shozin Fukui. Presented in a new 4K remaster.
Rogue scientists conduct sadistic experiments, pushing the boundaries of sensory overload and drug-induced psychic abilities, leading to madness and destruction. From the visionary mind of Shozin Fukui (964 PINOCCHIO), RUBBER'S LOVER is drenched in industrial horror and psychedelic visions that transport viewers into a world of tech, sensory overload, and mind-melting paranoia. This brutal fusion of body horror and high-concept sci-fi is shot in stark black and white, creating a raw and visceral look that fans of extreme cinema and the cyberpunk genre won’t want to miss!
In Japanese with English subtitles.
“a mindf*** of the first order… [Rubber’s Lover] is not like anything you’ve probably ever seen before – and for this reason alone it should be essential viewing for anyone out there looking for something new, different, and weird. Cinema doesn’t always have to be safe, and the films of Shozin Fukui prove this time and time again.” Mike Bracken, IGN
