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
（三星半）虽然是通过中年女性，但反应的却是信息爆炸的今天，逐渐向全年龄女性扩散的“自卑症候群”。接纳自己的身体、性和欲望，那无关道德，享受其中，可有趣的是，导演却没让片子真正享受其中，中间一大段关于“性服务合法与否”的讨论让整个片子落入道德品评，唉，让我享受完整的“高潮”不好么？
这就是大陆永远不会引进的东西 很幸运做为人文学生在这个国家看到这种题材的片子 迄今为止在odeon看到的场次人最满的一场
好像看现场啊。完全想不到的切入点，演员都演得非常棒。尤其女机长独唱那一段，太励志了。
you sound like a sex saint. are you real?hahaha
作者让一切简化，注意力全部让在两个人的关系上，即使是通过性爱这样看似非常私密的抵达方式，但两个人之间还是很敏感，不那么容易接近。某种程度上它映射了今天的人际关系、男女关系。
CFA在我这里的位置很尴尬，甚至我觉得它有些外百老汇了。为了me and the sky还是加一星。
还用说什么吗 能看到官摄这不太幸福了吗 喜欢以前的经典都能出个官摄
这种灾难背后，芸芸众生所呈现的善意和温暖，怎能让人不喜欢。
只能说 又是一部不可能被我们拍出来的电影！全片靠高密度的对白撑起 却一点不觉得冗长无聊 可见编剧功底已是登峰造极 再想到我们那尴尬的台词 出戏的演技 祝你好运 国产电影
纵然有名有利如艾玛姨，感觉也是本色出演，身为女子的烦恼和压抑让人一开场就感同身受不禁泪流。后段从单向疗愈变成双向疗愈引发矛盾就有点破坏这种宜人小品的恰如其分感，稍有点刻意。但总体是很值得看的，男主是真帅啊！
I’m an islander ，I am an islander！
2021 #67。就算撇开剧情不看，演员的情绪和表演，现场的走位调度打光大家不停的脱衣服穿衣服更换口音扮演不同的角色，舞台中央竟然还是个大转盘，能这样完整流畅的表演下来已经值得8.5往上了，再加上完全可以走煽情路线但是却走了乐观阳光积极向上的路线让我对编剧更加敬佩。作为一个去过911 Memorial Museum的人，那两个深不见底的巨型方形水池还是很令人震撼的。唯一令人唏嘘的是看完这个去搜“911纽芬兰”想了解更多背后的故事，出来的第一条新闻是“白宫恩将仇报，宣布禁止美国口罩生产商3M公司向邻国加拿大和拉丁美洲国家出口医用口罩”。有的时候患难见真情，更多的时候是患难见人品。放在国与国之间是这样，人与人之间更是。
所以纠结仍然是纠结的，想要放开但仍然纠结。
应该看现场，效果会更好，虽然没有那个观看的环境，却能够对其构造的环境感同身受。
之前没找到音乐剧的官摄
第二天才反应过来 这部片子前90%就只有两个演员 最后几分钟才出现了第3个演员 在看完影片的那个夜晚我完全忘记了这世上其他男人的存在
三星半。小成本单一场景的探索故事。无论男性女性，沟通和释放真实自我的需求都是应予支持的，但千万不能以Leo这样的“高级人才”去理解性工作者的工作价值和意义，这样太过于阶层化及资本化，最后发现现实中不是仙人跳就是纯粹的花钱买肉欲。
find you pleasure and enjoy it❤️
这大概就是美国主旋律题材了，但是很优秀。请假紧凑连贯，音乐动听。演员业务能力真的很强，每一个都很能打，从头到尾都是这些人不停地变装切换人物，他们应该都是热爱舞台的人吧，看到这样的表演也是一种幸运。每次看舞台剧谢幕时演员的敬礼和观众的掌声都让我热泪盈眶，充满热情。
