This 1992 Japanese film tells the story of a scientist who sets out to create the new "super Adam and Eve", humans who cannot be controlled by their emotions. Of course, the end result it not exactly what the good doctor expects.
comments from imdb:
This modern tale of an attempt to build a creature is one of the best "horror" films ever made, even if its not a horror film but something else entirely. Certainly its on my short list of all time great films.
This film was introduced to me by someone who told me "I have this film that probably one of the best films you'll ever see. It will move you and touch you and make you think, but if I told you what it is and told you how its done you will think its the stupidest thing on the face of it and you won't watch it." Intrigued I asked what did he mean, and he said, "Well its a Frankenstein story, with a very goofy sort of edge, but which uses it to its advantage." My ears perked up, and I being a trusting soul took the tape and watched it. I was blown away.
The plot concerns a mad scientist attempting to make a new Adam and Eve in the wake of a suicidal plague that is ravaging the world. Locked up in his lab his experiments go differently then either he or we expect. Some of it is silly (The bolts in the neck, the wrestling moves...), all of it is touching and thought provoking.
I can not recommend this movie enough. If you are willing to take the film on its terms and allow it to tell its story then I urge you to seek this film out and see it. This is an undiscovered gem that will stay with you forever.
15 out of 10 and then some. 10/10
Also known as "The Last Frankenstein", this is an extraordinary, impeccably produced horror film. Director Takeshi Kawamura uses Mary Shelley's novel as a mere launching pad for an exploration of subjects as diverse and fascinating as the nature of love, desire, suicide, mass hypnosis, sex, alienation and jealousy.
And though the film is dense with subtext, it is also stunningly photographed and rich in atmosphere and detail. The performances are all amazing and Kawamura's sensitive handling of the strange, delicate relationships between the characters results in an emotionally charged, angst-ridden tragedy.
The scenes of the confused, troubled monster hurtling through a fog-shrouded forest at night are memorable and striking, as is a brilliant home movie-style montage of the film's more curious characters enjoying a precious afternoon at the beach. Kawamura creates resonating visual poetry of horror and sadness barely sighted since Todd Browning's classic "Freaks".
Intelligent, emotional, tragic and real, this is an absolute gem. 9/10
幸好没看剧透，悬念、巧合环环相扣，我太喜欢这种短时间内在同一个空间发生的紧张故事了。简直可以说是演员们炫技的舞台，除了黑老大Roy差了点儿意思，每个角色的演出都很精彩，Francis超神。
看里朗斯做活就是妥帖，只有我在心疼那家BESPOKE店吗？
如此低调的片名下，隐藏着如此精彩感动的师生情，结尾眼泪止不住的流，师傅的行为完美诠释了什么叫“终身为父”。
文本太精彩了，丝毫不觉得乏味枯燥！花小钱办大事，赶紧改成话剧吧……
太精彩的黑帮外衣密室剧情，一口气在清晨看完，完全不觉有尿点。。老头情商智商太高，说的故事好比什么动作都强。Zoey Deutch与参演的电影都相当不错。（第1801部）
感觉没有那么的好，剧情张力不够，全程无高潮，本以为在他自曝自己是间谍会有爆发点，结果就真的像是开个玩笑……结束了这件事情
马克里朗斯真是老戏骨啊，纯用眼神就表达了一切。
单一场景，非常话剧感的悬疑片，最后一段弗朗西斯又起来后的反转稍显多余，破坏了全片既紧张又从容的节奏感
这种单场景的电影真的超级能出好故事！可惜我被剧透了
葬礼上那个笑话颇有坟头蹦迪的功效，那是北野武骨子里最糙的温柔。
曾几何时开电梯也是俺dream jobs里的兰波万呢！
影帝的北野武，那种凶的气场一下子就能找得到（除了少了一点年迈感我还真以为是那个男人）。怪不得北野武看起来那么凶又那么温柔，原来是师父就喜欢八嘎八嘎八嘎啊。所以北野武看了会不会评分吖
而令我直接拉满到五星的，在于剧本与演员对人物关系的微妙变化掌握得极为细腻，很直接就能通过语言、动作、表情等各方面立体地向观众呈现出多方势力即时的敌我角力，氛围张力一下就烘托起来了。面对不同的意外冲突，主角们的走向选择更是成为了紧钩住观众的悬念。
一人血书求Rylance和SRB一起去演部戏【。
"I'm not a tailor, I'm a cutter."
在车上看的，好看。Mark Rylance真是演什么像什么，角色演绎得甚至比本来就精彩的本子更出彩。唯一不太满意就是老Boyle略弱，做到老大的警觉性也太差。
当你仰望着台上光鲜亮丽的艺人时，不要忘了还有无数本属于舞台但无法站在台上的人。说不定，没有后者，前者永远无法登台。
曾几何时开电梯也是俺dream jobs里的兰波万呢！
规范但不聪明，讨巧但不给力，从第二幕开始对主角“控制力”的刻画升级，然而只能说毫无悬念，压力设置平平无奇，甚至因为过于沉稳的表演而感觉不到压力，就是带着观众在看戏，这种戏剧性算不上好，甚至像是一次编剧转型导演的MFA毕设
意外的好看
