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
画面特别美，可以做壁纸的程度。bgm也很治愈～
原本以为只是一部日常治愈的电影，看着看着就突然玄幻起来了。
奇幻的部分和生活的部分有一点点割裂，但是无法抗拒这种平淡，清新的日式表达，爱了～
确实像年轻女导演会拍出来的电影🎬 片尾曲居然是大森靖子！
完全能理解女主的病娇 女二脆弱的美我也很喜欢
女主小孩子一样任性，偏执到可怕，为了一封别人的信的好奇心可以冒着摔残疾的危险跳窗，又为了继续让关系不断，和不喜欢的人做，给见多识广的我看傻了快。
又是一部高于期待的电影~he放心食用 看过山田杏奈在新手姐妹的双人餐桌里的可爱塑造，再看这部电影里的表现，成长了，眼前一亮~
人設鮮明很有特點，男主真是位人間清醒的工具人啊，存在只為讓倆女主找到彼此hhhh
04.14 海岬的迷途之家🎬
山田杏奈长在我的审美上了 是我喜欢的立本妹妹的长相 卡哇伊！最后那个镜头挺喜欢的 爱酱挺疯批的 冲进教室当着全班人说我们再睡一次吧 但是谁会不愿意与可爱美女再睡一次呢？
温吞。想要立于现实之上呈现鬼怪的意味，但实在催眠。
画风、人物、立意都很温暖与治愈，无奈情节不是很完美，和红祟的高潮部分有些如鲠在喉，挖掘得不是很深刻。
做得还不错？虽然人物设定简单，剧情冲突简单，就是一个普普通通的小故事。迷家的设定戳中我了，但是这个故事主线根本不需要迷家……这可能是让故事如此单薄的原因吧？在不需要的副线上开枝散叶大卖画面和设定，结果并没有起到丰富整体剧情的目的。就是一个宁静的童话。（嘛，用了一些有意思的神话元素还行，河童可爱诶）
算是角度蠻特別的校園純愛片？簡單說就是為了男人玩假百合又疑似變真百合，百合變變變。以為山田杏奈滾女女床單時會有什麼突破，小期待落空
谁说阿紫的眼里没有光？！手写信里的山田，俨然是东瀛魔女版的阿紫。。。话说木村的新戏《迈向未来的倒数十秒》里也有山田杏奈，我说女主怎么这么眼熟，不过在迈向未来里完全是花瓶了。
山田mm很可爱，感觉像是为她量身打造的片子。男主一家完全是为了忖托啦啦主题搞来的配件吧～
文化是用讲故事来传承，电影在讲故事这里音乐语调和画面都很美。
还好坚持看完了。很喜欢最后那个镜头 特意多加两星 所以说未知全局不予置评 我很喜欢小愛酱的性格啊 父权社会大多数女孩有愛酱这么爱自己也好啊 虽然说美雪和愛一起喜欢西村这个看上去40的真让人😅 不过好在愛最后也明白了自己的心意 总之 这是一部奇怪的电影。而且日本人比我还丧 我觉得我可以活到50呢（看这部电影是回家后看的 烦的快死 妈一直进我房间 床戏也看得断断续续的 第二次床戏到结束还是刚刚在浴室洗澡看的 受不了了
美雪就像大海，包容着爱的任性冲动和自私，哪怕只有一瞬也好，希望你的眼里有光。
把男主去掉吧，过于工具人，两女主的戏就很够看了。
