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
脸谱化的人物，冗长无聊的台词，沉闷没有转折的剧情，复仇故事就真的只能拍成哈姆雷特那样的吗？
20220516 几个字的剧本还能拍出花，主角为了报仇，隐忍多年，找到仇家，伪装自己，先下副本拿神兵，慢慢收割，杀人诛心的故事！大小谎言的夫妻这次变母子。。。
一年总会不小心看那么几部“主创的精神和创造力如此贫瘠一定很可怜吧”的片子
导演执迷于蛮荒孤岛中的各种仪式，静谧的残暴的恶毒的，再加上冷峻的风光，讲述了一个被演绎过无数次的复仇故事，视听上非常有快感，值得好好学习
推荐所有人去看尚气！作为爆米花电影，故事把西方个人价值和东方文化气韵结合的非常顺畅！特效镜头制作精良，且中有我认为影史最美的XX！而且实话实说，这样的电影被好莱坞先拍出来，作为中国电影人是有点惭愧的。
就只有“好看”和“好听”，私以为故事跟去年《绿衣》是两个极端
我一般不给美国人拍的亚洲片高分，但这部真的太好看了…
重回看绿衣骑士时的困倦，一时不知该说水土不服还是拍得稀里糊涂。安雅真的好适合这种造型。
对哈姆莱特的铁血改编，原始、野蛮、兽性十足，安雅艳压妮可，青春无敌。
北欧玄学之旅（不是）电影院另外两个观众因为血腥场面中途退场了。
梁朝伟rio辛苦，活了千年突然就春心动了，出门买个菜突然老婆就没了，跟儿子打着打着就被吸光了，中间还要帮迪士尼甩掉满大人的锅...
你将看到《花木兰》《卧虎藏龙》《别告诉她》《摘金奇缘》《一代宗师》《功夫熊猫》以及。。。《哥斯拉》等等组成的好莱坞有史以来最眼花缭乱的一锅中西结合超级大乱炖！
这么老套的剧情真是难以想象，舞台剧风格让人昏昏欲睡，唯有部分画面值得一看……
全片最赞的场面居然是开头攻城时的长镜头，既然已经如此风格化处理了，其实不如再大胆一些，干脆做成下一个《斯巴达三百勇士》。
风格很强烈的片子。我一般会等字幕放完再走，另一个同样等到最后一刻的人跟我说“果然要等到最后一刻才能明白导演的意图”
【7.5】一如既往地被罗伯特的视听美感俘获，每一个直视前方的眼神镜头无不呼唤着人的深层恐惧。好理解的是一脉相承的家族信仰、为父报仇等陈词滥调，主线剧情真就如简介里写的一样简单，让人掉san的主要是古老文明中的人类迷惑行为，一种不可言说的神秘感。不敢相信它的分类居然没有恐怖和奇幻...（我对迷人的风格化片子接受度超高）
真的是超过预期了！没想到差不多特一半的对话都是中文，真是没想到。还有故事的内核也很贴切我们的点，亲情兄弟姐妹情，真的很吃我的点！喜欢！
声效很强，剧情不评论。总体乏味，既然改就改的彻底一些么。
天才导演 还是艾格斯一以贯之的作者表达。有毒男性气质的由来，是因为毒蘑菇一般的神秘仪式的代代传承，导演把它藏在民俗宗教和神话故事的壳子里，藏好，藏好。
拍的一定很辛苦 服装 场地 就是出来的东西 只能看合二为一的壁纸了
