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
总体上有些小惊喜，基于广角镜头下的微型影像，将各种宏观的类型与元素浓缩在了狭小且智能化的空间结构，利用不同视角的画面构图与窥探镜头的不断切换并转化为数据性的关键信息。第一幕下的人物关系与事件背景也逐渐浮出水面，而孤寂黯淡的的人物网格与冰冷空旷的氛围形态更是为第二幕的悬疑开场做足了铺垫，从而揭开事件背后的迷雾与真相，环绕在角色身边所有的不安情绪也逐渐演变为蓄力爆发的能量，也算是短小精悍，一气呵成的叙事手法，但结构上依然有些随意且套路化，将漩涡中心着力于人工智能的同时也在局限着人文羽翼的情感输出。
闹着玩似的…为啥不能直接打电话给FBI，还得走过去才行，从车的后备箱被拖出来一言不发直接开溜也是挺搞的…社恐出街那一段的镜头拍得不错
非常简洁直接的片子，前面叙述太长了，做成一个短片可能会更好。里面的运镜挺喜欢的，用不断重复的以及一种富有节奏的运镜和近景去凸显紧张感，很老派的呈现方式但却不违和，属于一种惊悚类的小品，胜在一个小巧
后窗加对话，索德伯格努力跟随时代步伐同时致敬前辈的个人风格悬疑
就喜欢这种从莫名其妙的开头然后慢慢揭开迷雾的真相。男主演技不错的。为爱而战的格局虽然小了点，但打戏还是可以的
好 酷/喜欢出门后那一段的表现手法！/每个家里蹲都会有想在家反杀杀人狂的梦想（？
看完整部电影你会发现这是一个相当简单，直白的故事，与其他悬疑片相比，没有任何的转折，反转，平铺直叙，寡淡如水，但导演却能通过很强的风格让电影保持悬疑感，很善于，而且始终都在用各种看似突兀的音效来增加紧张感，部分镜头也让人眼前一亮，节奏也把握的很不错，电影中对于新冠疫情，人工智能，网络安全，智能设备等时事的展现，也让人感觉很亲切，各种电子设备间的联动，又有种科技公司宣传片的感觉，感觉这部电影更像是一个水平很高的作者，闲来无聊随便写出来的习作的一样，看似很粗糙，流水线出来的作品一样，但细品又能发现不少亮点
精彩的后疫情时代电影，人工智能，女权意识和心理惊悚各种议题都糅合在里面了，小巧精炼，给了各种线索。本该帮助被侵犯女性的组织成员助纣为虐，反隔离抗议者帮助女主不被杀手拖拽上车，讽刺极了。女主离开家再逃离回家的镜头真的让人眩晕心悸。最后片尾曲用了elastica的connection，好开心
作为前软件开发从业者，看完真的是细思恐极。火速删除云端的各种文件😂
片尾用的Elastica的Connection，瞬间回到Grunge盛行的年代，用得好，爽，四星加一星，镜头不搞广角、鱼眼那些极端主义的索德伯格还是很讨人喜欢的！
2022年的女nerd可不是一般的nerd

上报无果
听到强奸与杀人
疫情大环境下患有人群心理障碍的社会边缘人女主与资本官僚主义的斗智斗勇，这是当今时代的现实题材电影，疫情、科技、经济、社会住房问题、阴谋论，但总感觉是拍出来的东西比想讲的东西少了很多
一切都是为了爱。
无敌的摄影，超酷的女孩，疫情元素，索德伯格真棒
我就想问这种片子6.3分怎么打出来的？？？
我竟然不脸盲了，帅黑警总感觉像帅了的张颂文
前半段满分，从要出门开始拉垮，垮的彻底，真是可惜了前半段的剧情，镜头和她家装修风格是最爱
