Aw man, you stole my answer.

For OP's benefit though, I'll expand on why. Clearly, with those directors being your self-professed favorites, you have an attraction to surrealism, or unconventional, shall we say, filmmaking. Tetsuo fits the bill. In my estimation, it's essentially what would happen if you asked Davids Lynch and Cronenberg to collaborate on a live action Dragonball Z episode. There's non-linear editing, repeated visual motifs which the director leaves to the audience to parse the significance of, a focus on vibe over narrative, striking black and white cinematography, psychosexual explorations of sadism and masochism, and a healthy slathering of KY Jelly and prosthetics to add some body horror to the melange.

There’s also a dick tank.

Given those directors, I recommend Ozon's Criminal Lovers and -- if you can find the uncut version -- Greenaway's Baby of Mâcon . You could try A Zed & Two Naughts as a substitiute, but it isn't as good. You might also try Jodorowsky's Santa Sangre or Solondz's Happiness . I'm presuming you've seen Dogville, Breaking the Waves, The Element of Crime, The Five Obstructions, Dancer in the Dark, Manderlay, Enter the Void, Vortex, Irrevesible, Climax, Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, and Mulljholand Drive.
