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
leo叔叔我真的永远可以，演技和颜值一直在线
糟心了快两个小时，最后十分钟是平静的，好担心编剧最后让他从楼上跳下去
想想他女儿真是不容易，一个疯爸，一个躁妈，如果不远离，就永远长不大。
有些话说出来比做到容易，孤独是无可治愈的顽疾。每个人都有问题，“大脑中一直有什么静不下来”，每当认真检视自己的内心，发现从来不能在任何亲密关系里得到真正想要的。男主角圣地亚哥只擅长维持一夜情关系，父女关系、爱人关系，全都一塌糊涂，甚至3P之后，一夜情关系也差点翻车。向海滩情侣交代心事，尽情感受肉体之乐，对比别墅派对擅自狂欢，扰了爱人的清静，该果决时没那么果决，该细腻时没那么细腻。流浪的心啊，想装下整个世界，却只是流于表面的走马观花。男主角没什么成长点，或许导演想呈现的就是庸常生活里人渴求改变又故步自封的状态，看完只想对空气怒挥几拳。镜头色彩颇有质感，莱拉和她的妈妈两位女性角色很美，莱拉跳舞，以及后面妈妈弹奏钢琴的段落，点睛之笔，钟罩蝴蝶一般的美丽疏离。
反转确实没想到，但包袱卸得太早了，显得后面各种拖拉。。。
黑岛结菜的错误使用方式，从情节到台词都浅薄得要命，3星全给黑岛的时装秀。
怎么可以把情侣间同生共死的情话说的那么清新脱俗呢？
看到热评解释了题目才稍微理解了一点…但总之就是非常不好笑的烂俗性喜剧 甚至连性喜剧这个题材都不怎么好笑 想讲的大尺度一点但是却碍手碍脚的 整体来说非常无趣 可以说是诈骗了
我可太喜欢看这种小年轻们谈恋爱了。看了介绍发现导演年级很小，果然导演一定也曾经超级喜欢过一个人吧。年轻人总是喜欢讲自己的故事给大家听，我一开始不理解北村为什么流眼泪，后来就理解了，全部好き、好きすぎだから。。。
你的迷茫，我的迷茫，好像也都差不多。那种一年一年过去，而生活并没有什么不同的感觉，的确是令人心碎的。
除了故事性有点弱，还是很好笑的，为什么分这么低？
其实是还不错的剧情片，对男主及周边人物性格和内心的展现很深刻也很强烈，演员们出色的表演也张力十足，但是主角的人物形象明显缺少一个有力的转折点，仅仅依靠母亲去世，女儿出国留学很难有说服力，造成电影前半部分的疯狂和最后的平静无法自然地连接在一起。
男A与女A离婚，之后，男B爱上了女A，男C爱上了男A，另外，男A与女A的儿子爱上了女C，噢，还有个女B是个打酱油的。
柳承龙的演技还是ok 剧情上来说有点小乱、看个热闹吧
很喜欢三个人在凌晨的街上跑的场景和alien的场景。很讨厌分别前那次床戏，尬得我脚趾发麻，毫无美感也毫无必要，像个低成本porn. 看到是女导演我都惊呆了，女导演的床戏品味也这么差啊。黑岛结菜太可爱了，但是恋爱过程没有细节全是MV，最终还搞一出无意义的反转，不知道这角色是要干嘛。凌晨的街上也有我的magic hour，它们也确实消散了。（幻月字幕组开始做日影了，太感谢了）
剧本也太散了，想表达的东西和表达的方式也是又浅又泛。为啥我看北村匠海怎么笑都像在假笑。两星给黑岛结菜和配乐
人物太多，好像要努力写完每一个人的故事，但其实都没写清楚。本来这对师生禁忌恋是非常戳我的，可惜篇幅太少了
生活就像一片海洋，没有一刻会停息。南美真的是欲望的天堂，原来他们也会失落，而不是无尽的快乐。
3星嫌少，4星太多，前半段真的超级喜欢，三个人凌晨在小巷子里奔跑，那种可以忘却现实的感觉，在成为大人之后偶尔能感受到的青春，真好。后半段的反转有点，wtf的感觉，明明知道真相后的不顾一切，却又觉得自己是受害者的一蹶不振。最后想通了继续生活，确实和女主所说的与戏剧不同的现实一样。最后的巡礼和找不到手机还是有点意思的。有几首歌很好听。女主也是少年感满满的美丽，第一次get到黑岛结菜。北村匠海还真是一如既往的丧气青年。觉得同期的那位还挺好的，没有勾心斗角，能够关心和支持男主。
那些悲傷、鬱悶、暴躁、迷惘、放縱，都是只有自己一個觀眾的表演罷了。人生常常就是一場比爛，我也不是沒有過那樣的階段，但是一和聖地亞哥的瘋狂與糜爛一比，只肯把負面情緒留給自己的我，似乎就可以感歎自己依然是一個好同志，然而我清楚得很，我才不是什麼好鳥。
