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
【古驰家族@平凡】不是中产阶级的资产阶级家庭情节剧，却逃不过普通人的命运。爱恨纠葛，人之常情。人毕竟是人，不同的阶级也会有相似的烦恼。有被阿尔·帕西诺和杰瑞德·莱托的妆发吓到，GaGa的口音和前半段的少女感一样迷人。🖤
本来就是drama，拍成电影我都觉得可能不如现实drama
雷爷版拍珠光宝气的，斯科特的名字就值三星。
荒诞的家族闹剧中每一个成员都应该是小丑，看上去却像是潦草的制造一个女魔头。。。
电影对于男主和嘎嘎分手刻画生硬---前脚男主还在逃亡，镜头一转女主到滑雪场来看男主，男主就开始冷落女主了。
两个极端，靠贵族维持声誉品质品味的服装制造者与靠logo掩饰消费主义洗脑的平民
当年汉尼拔专门买了双GUCCI送他的小羔羊，浪漫的不得了。其实古琦王朝没GAGA什么事……
演员阵容很强大，但确实很平铺直叙，不温不火，感觉雷老是很勉强吧这个片子拍出来了结了一样
本来就啥也不期待，就想雷德利老爷子能多赚一点，目前来看片子的票房还不错，比较欣慰。拍这种题材本来就吃力不讨好，中规中矩就是胜利，也就花了导演五成功力，对雷粉来说同年有《最后的决斗》这种级别的作品够了。
历史传记惊悚悬疑都不是本片应有的标签 家族内争的很多细节没有普张开来 倒是有TF是拖拉机手这种低俗的冷笑话 大咖云集的同时表演是真的令人享受 不管是gaga的歇斯底里还是老ai的信手拈来 单纯就剧情演绎上来说已经很优秀了 只是这个混合商战内斗的超级长篇不应该是《小时代》的狗血言情 墨西哥女神作为现在开云掌门人皮诺的夫人 饰演巫女显得格外显眼讽刺
这么有趣的故事，真的给拍的太普通了。老司机不停换装负责好看就可以了，土鳖的表演是有进步的，但是这么有戏的角色，也被她演的没有什么亮点。反而莱托演的保罗是最有戏的角色。
emmm........主要就是为了看服装，但是真的没想到这么平铺直叙，没有什么剧情
败家子狗血故事。lady Gaga演技还是不错的。
我对gucci的这个惊天八卦完全不知情，然后看得也昏昏欲睡，会不会就因为我不知道呢，电影是省略了一些普通人都知道的情节吗，人物的某些情绪转换得太莫名其妙，但叙事又平淡得毫无波澜，这反差对我就基本死水了，没想到是雷爷爷作品，一脸懵逼。这几个人的意式英语是亮点~~~尤其gaga，看姓gucci的意大利人用浓重的意语口音的英语对话，很穿越呢。
并没有《金钱世界》好看，但大家都是为了卡司来的。两代演员卖力的演出里，最细腻的还是Jeremy Irons. 雷导的电影作为商业片完成度还是很高的，I'm entertained.
这个片的卡司构成比历史本身更耐人寻味。鳖的表演做到了惺惺作态的同时又真情流露，阿尔帕西诺80岁的人了发起脾气来像个小孩般可爱，重点是莱托！莱托……演了个橡皮泥。
被前期的各种影评拉低了预期，所以可以看。但是拍的缺一点儿魂，太流水。
gaga或许在音乐上有才华吧 但是作为演员实在是不大行 我希望她被运作拿下奥斯卡 这样又多了一个瞧不上奥斯卡的理由
1) 怎么感觉Patrizia Reggiani最著名的拜金和挥霍无度几乎就没体现出来 连她那句名言「我宁可坐在劳斯莱斯里哭 也不愿在骑在自行车上笑」也没说 咋了女人就不能精明冷血 非得真情真义扶植丈夫 被渣男始乱终弃才能由爱生恨吗 2) 铁憨憨草包Paolo Gucci虽然可能是和原型相差最远的 但也确实是冗长的流水账里最有意思的 3) 亚当司机整部电影be like: 「意大利口音 从入门到放弃」
2.5；人物前后的行为逻辑是不自洽的，几处重要的时间节点都处理得十分生硬。更像是一幕一幕独立的流水账演绎，甚至还不如直接割裂成独立的短篇呢。Gaga的演绎我觉得整体还是到位的，Driver不知道怎么回事，完全没有他在《婚姻故事》和《帕特森》里的所展现的演技了。
