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
这部片借着安雅炒作好几个月了，结果呈现的也不过是一部平庸之作。52/100
前半段想说还挺逗比的，后半段属实给吓到了😱🤪
继《宝宝司机》后，赖特对自身风格A级化的进一步尝试，大抵就是一个玩家将爱好变成饭碗后，开始一本正经整活的正常体现。女性议题的营造粗暴却完整，至于那些蒙太奇上的看家功夫，只能说作为好他这口的还会一直吃，但少了先前的鬼马轻盈，多少还是有些遗憾的。
鄉村姑娘來到倫敦求學，搬到公寓獨居的她每晚都可以夢回五十年前的sohu區，夢裡，有一個風塵美麗的一心渴求成名的舞女。夢裡，她覺得自己成為了她。
没想到安雅竟然不是女一号 之前宣传都几乎只有她🥲该有的惊悚元素都有了 服装 配乐都很60s 果然是不管什么年代女性都共情女性
才发现这导演的每部片都看过，真是个人风格越来越强化，不像同样有MTV质感名气更响的盖里奇那样踏步
导演的镜头语言真的不是一般的高级 配乐也是真的好听哭
為什麼我喜歡的美少女最近大屏幕的片都演這麼慘的⋯
没有传说中的那么有趣啊！及其乏善可陈的一部矫情拧巴片，女主的人选和角色设定实在让我喜欢不起来，其实看到中间已经猜出个一二来了，但没想到内核命题是如此陈腔滥调，片子前半部分实在是没什么味道，后面的节奏倒是起来了，真真假假的一顿折腾，抽丝剥茧剥白菜看的还算没有尿点，但真凶起了杀心想一并灭口，按在这么个老谋深算的角色上也太显低级了，这么大岁数了还能再折腾几年啊？图个什么啊？且抵消了我对她所有不幸遭遇的同情和怜悯，处理的跟美国恐怖故事似的，到最后被怨灵包围逼迫时强行点题开始共情，弄得整部片子就好像是一个笑话，你要是穿越题材的兴许我还会觉得高级些，年代复古感做的还不错，这安雅现在真是够红的，但今后选片要注意了，千万别只沦为花瓶！
有几段戏拍得不错的，剪辑音乐也很棒…但这个可怕的开头和结尾是在干什么…
创意还是很不错的！除了完全没必要的感情戏，另外结局太拉垮了
视听技法纯熟，视觉效果炸裂，音乐复古，可惜电影院看不到
“前半段给观众制造了一个复古惊奇的伦敦夜，中间惊悚，最后温情！”导演是不是以为观众会这么说。自以为是的导演把观众当好操纵的白痴，给了一个混乱不知所云的观影体验。再白痴也不会有女主白痴。
最佳也最正确的方式当然是get out那样藏匿在日常生活中的怪异，别扭和凝视。本片选择的却是一种廉价的奇观式迷眩，面貌模糊的男性压迫者如同僵尸一样附着在城市的各处，镜像和声音都过度重复，看来听来只显滑稽。
苍白悬浮的仇男叙事，老套刻板的惊悚桥段，剩下的只有视听了但是歌又不耐听，难以置信这竟然是天才又鬼马的埃德加·赖特鼓捣出来的东西！太失望了！
又是男权无处不在的压迫，女性失足的苦难，最近这两年这套路有几十个不同展现。然后以辉煌的视觉奇观展现，然后立刻双标扭曲到杀人正义，才是真女中豪杰，各种违法违规突然情绪化的正义了，就跟白人流氓跟着BLM一起零元购非常正义似的，荒谬到离谱。因为无法解释是怎么回事，所以导演只能用表意、画面、炫彩去强行带剧情，因为无法解释为什么，所以用男人和符号去概述压迫。金钱或是资本的剥削，提都不提，只提所谓的奋斗打拼，城市梦想，午夜梦辉煌。画龙点睛的结尾就是卖衣服（时尚）…回到消费主义来。这是典型的资本家希望单身多消费，不指望底层有未来的陷阱和圈套。正义是什么？只要打着性别主义，ZZZQ，种族主义的旗子，抢劫杀人无恶不作，也是正义的。这是什么狗屎逻辑…号召又卖又婊，既要钞票，也要杀人仙人跳？电影是革命的，但这部是反动的
剪辑版。女性主义的部分真的相当好评。但是这种结尾过于刻意，否则这部和前程似锦的女孩那部就类似了。这部还算是HE和有希望。女主们好美
两位女主角都发挥的非常不错
埃德加赖特没有让人失望。前半段精妙绝伦的镜像轮转、场景调度、摄影运镜极尽丝滑，各种怀旧金曲搭配双女主不同场景/角度的凝视/对望/附着引发强烈情感共振。就是看着女主吻黑人小哥让我吐了，这就叫专业吧……
音乐服化道不错双女主表演对于低成本惊悚剧而言很棒。
