Tetsuo has to be one of the ultimate techno movies for me, if such a thing exists. Also most movies by David Cronenberg. I guess its just the reacurring theme of the man's fusion with the synthetic. I also think of things like Altered States, but I think thats probably more as drug thing than having any references to techno music.
What I want to see is a feature length animee drawn by Alan Oldham with a score by Derrick May. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cyclone Wehner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "313 Detroit" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2004 5:54 PM Subject: (313) Techno Films > I have been thinking about 'techno' films - ie films that the techno > community have adopted as part of their subculture - as lately I've been > catching up on DVDs when I am too tired to do anything else constructive. ;) > > I guess hip-hop types have Star Wars but techno people I find are into > Metropolis, Bladerunner and The Matrix - classic sci fi. > > Personally I didn't quite get into The Matrix.
