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
不会有手下留情的仁慈
私人影像诗，无感，但导演都90多了，厉害。
去年看的，今天清一下迅雷才想起来。BDO重度爱好者狂喜。
开头慢了点，后面太怪诞趣味了，太有才了这个导演！有点被涂污的鸟那种感觉！堂吉诃德版本的黄粱一梦！
被死亡分开的塔维亚尼兄弟中，保罗向维托里奥的告别，非常个人化的一部影片。
视听体验极佳，可是除此之外好像就没有其他优点了，冗长拖沓，简单、却又故作深沉的内核撑不起整部片子，聊胜于无
有点新版《麦克白》的feel，各种装神弄鬼的逼范也算是把你哥糊弄住了。此片只宜正常速度看。
挑人的电影，也不是说观影门槛有多高，是那种电波对不上就会感到十分无聊的类型，然而只要抓到氛围并投入其中就会有抽飞的感觉（嗯）。观影建议首先是要清楚David Lowery是什么人，原型文本不需要提前了解故事其实非常简单（读懂故事反而会损失那诡谲的迷幻感)，浓厚的Anglo-Saxon台词也不必完全理解当作是影像化的一部分就好，真结局出来前感受会有点糟但不急着下结论。
这部电影观后感让我新认识自己的一个点是，我喜欢所有“寻自/朝圣/成长/求道之旅”，但不喜欢所有其中包含有“试炼和考验”设定的此类传奇或寓言。试炼啥试炼 啥对美德对人性的考验个啥要干嘛。现在的我就很明确讨厌那些老故事的出发点和动机，暗戳戳中很站不住脚很值得怀疑和唾弃。包括对荣耀对美德对某种精神的一些追求的寓言，其中的空洞荒谬通过此“是骑士就来砍我”的故事一路上带给我的困惑愈加凸显。最后一分钟的通彻的勇气让人释放，虽然这勇气和这一路的经历（在他本人的故事里）我不懂意义是啥。
绿🌲骑士在他颈上轻轻一划，一个高尚的骑士灵魂由此诞生。
故事讲的鸡零狗碎，而且处处卖弄高深，故弄玄虚的剧本，还总顾左右而言他，个人一直不太欣赏得了A24这个厂牌，架子常年端的高，内里的含金量也是一窥见底，琐碎又冗余，慢热且枯燥，既失去了流畅性，也没有了故事性，摄影倒是一景观，但我太不喜欢这种厂牌命题作文型的统考感，只有框架，没有拓展。★★
超级无敌一般，画面制作的黑不溜秋布景又极其简单，剧情单薄，旅程坑长无聊，故事讲述的五马平川。整个故事就是他妈用魔法给他上了一课，他成长了，就这样。在骑士精神消亡的今天，你通过三言两语的第一人称阐述和一些举动，去让观众觉得绿衣骑士这个人品行差是无效的，前面拍不出绿衣骑士这个人的垃圾人设后面结尾也自然软麻无力。
看来古典爱好者和冒险爱好者的目标群体重叠不多，分这么低。
前面皮兰德娄的骨灰运输过程太让人焦虑了，反倒显得后面钉子的故事异常轻盈，没有多少炫技的地方，但总有种莫名的缺憾在心中挥散不去，我坐在黑暗的房间里，看着被风不断吹起的窗帘，小溪坐在地上看着我，哦还有窗外飘来的钢琴声，就那样停滞了几分钟，时间也不过如此。
还挺不错的，电影院观感也很棒。A24风格显眼，小成本拍出了史诗大作的味道很不容易，服化道摄影配乐都相当加分。由于事先了解了故事原型，整体理解没有什么太大障碍，以至于古英语和咬文嚼字也并不觉得有什么太大的问题。些许细节不错，几个原创场景也值得拿来具体分析。全片动物戏都很加分，从开场的驴鸭互动到后来的狐狸角色都有点戳到我…还有就是片中有不少很冷的笑点正中我下怀了，不过全场鸦雀无声可能还是我比较奇怪吧…
今日还是青春韶华，明日就垂垂老矣，伤感又豁达的愁思和告别.
不知道故事背景 看不明白
