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
这部电影怎么说呢，索德伯格对镜头的运用以及女主角的表演是非常精彩非常好的，但是剧情又是很平庸很肤浅，完事后没啥可回味挖掘的。主要着力点在社恐黑人极客妹不敢出门这个人设上，然后她发现了一桩谋杀案的音频证据逼得她不得不出门，然后卷入是非，差点把命搭上。剧情属于一马平川没有多大转折的，也没什么悬疑，都不用你猜就会交代凶手是谁以及他要怎么对付女主。全片的精彩部分在于女主出门时刻那一段镜头描写，通过演员的步态以及旋转的镜头把女主那种畏缩恐惧的心理状态描写了出来，这段可以说大师级的镜头运用。
演技很好，但是没有什么感情。也许演员演戏久了，就会自然而然有这样的毛病？
时间线很混乱，叙事也平淡，就看看Nicole养眼吧
到电影最后我都快相信爱情的时候直接给我当头一棒😅男的，果然、
C+技巧有余，情感不足，就一般吧，比较无感这部，剧本是真不错，导演能力就比较一般了
理想主义的女人和他擅长危机公关的老公鸡糟的一周 就挺无聊的
男人只在有资格问女人的ambition是什么的时候爱她
这种还有点心意的小品作业又看到索德伯格多面体之小成本制作精气神。把监视与窥听玩出新花样除了继承了《后窗》的衣钵，还引入了技术专家政治论调并将技术道德引向了连希区柯克也无法设想的黑色讽刺与未来陷阱，这大概就是作者与时代一起重力坍塌形成的道德觉醒。
本质还是一个女权故事啦 层层叠叠的元素交织看的很爽 妮可演的真的很不错 真挚动人 于细节处见深度
当年，曾陪家人看了很多集‘ I Love Lucy’。两位主演都很努力，表现得不错。但这部传记片营造的凝重气氛，感觉与’I Love Lucy’的轻松欢快，不大合拍，
对这个故事背景实在欠缺兴趣，虽然剧本仍是老味道，妮可女神也演得挺卖力的，观影过程却只感到好无聊，干干巴巴的节奏很影响观感，人物情感也不够立体，只有妮可在结尾的那段表演才感受到了那么点意思，目前看过最枯燥乏味的索金。
社恐患者版“后窗”？这时长是不是标错了，找的资源都是89min
靠对话传达的信息点高频输出持续而密集，一开始确实感到有点疲。fight against McCarthyism、对拉丁裔移民和女性的歧视、年龄困境容貌焦虑、婚姻。最后听到戏中丈夫角色扮演者 - 自己鲜少归家的丈夫说出台词“I’m home”，一瞬间的出神让Lucy Ricardo与Lucille Ball融为一体，舞台与现实的隔阂不再。Nicole的表演可圈可点。最喜欢的一个小段落是Lucille指出不要把观众当傻子（害）。
妮可基德曼的演技又一次让我惊叹，戏中戏演的完美无缺，她可以用现实的自己去演那个戏中聪明果断的露西也能在这个基础上演出戏中戏露西尔的喜剧，每一个都有各自分明的特色和层次。
某些方面和《尼姆岛》异曲同工，Purell洗手液瞩目，大概是社恐标签吧。
前面真的好难懂哦，但是最后还是男人没个好东西！！！
一定要坚持到最后10分钟，让我终于明白前面的闪回、女主身份争议、以及女性年龄职业婚姻焦虑的问题(尽管一直都认为男主是多么爱她。。单线叙事镜头几乎一直环绕着Nicole，一出场发现妆又改变了她，大概因为她没啥皱纹所以大家总觉得她做不出表情？？我记得在刚与靓汤离婚那时她承诺过不再打肉毒了。。大概因为本片整体不是特别出色所以总觉得Nicole拿这次奥斯卡挺难（但港真其他几位提名也是影片真不太强势或者特别完美的，大家都是平手之感。。AnywayJavier是全片最享受的演员了赶脚哈哈哈
很厉害的剧本，Aaron Sokin估计是当今对角色拿捏最好的编剧了，他总是能掌握很重要的小事，成为笔下角色的大事，在这个故事里，“想要一个家”的女演员，要平衡两个人之间、社会眼光、职场甚至是政治的一切来满足自己最大的愿望，多卑微，多执拗，是她要的太多吗？或许是，但他接受并也深爱着她，谁又能指责谁。最后的高潮戏很棒，一瞬间炸出我的眼泪，或许整个看来太着重角色心境，客观叙事相对较薄，但也渐渐形成导演自己的风格，演员会很爱他给出的空间，Nicole Kidman很有竞争性，应该会再拿下一座小金人。
狡猾地把技术革新还有后疫情时代下的闭隔感包装于类型故事里，近身动作、POV、独行侠设定的女性驱动动作片；样样都有，也可看作是对《极寒之城》、《节奏组》等一系列成功或者不成功的同类作品更现代、更具时代意识的补充。但花招大于内容本身，角色动机与任务意义语焉不详；Zoë Kravitz把更多的精力，投入到了表情或者某个镜头的塑造中，即使流畅精简的时长，也依然不免冗余。唯一的区别在于，这是一部服务于流媒体、创作者力求速战速决的小作文，也就尽到它被赋予的使命了。
一个简单的婚外恋故事非得绕来绕去不好好讲。
