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
我以为女主最后还是打死了有孩子那个空间的自己，她太想要孩子，家庭和阳光了。波光粼粼的水面上，女主才微笑起来
伯德小姐，JR先生。复古老爷车，旧式保龄球。平淡而又感人的人生日志。（其实uncle的形象有点过于完美了）
被朋友抓去看的点映，本来是一脸懵逼走进去的，结果看完了发现电影竟然还不错，有北美小众电影那味儿了，作为科幻悬疑片来说剧情有超出预期，好几个地方都很紧张，虽然结尾跟我预想的有差距，但瑕不掩瑜吧～
才突然想起来以前喜欢看这种又静又平的片子。
3.5 剧情一般，但还是非常喜欢不停奔跑着的画面、喜欢滑板少年、烟花、摄影、喜欢北海道函馆的静谧冷清，并且喜欢奈绪。最后一场东出光脚在草里跑起来的戏也很喜欢，希望从此我们都能找到属于自己适合的道路吧。
稀里糊涂的看完，像是看一支巨长无比的mv.印象最深的一些剪影：两次烟花的片段，特别是第二次一字排开点燃的绚烂无比的烟花。跳入海中的少年。蹲在地上痛哭的男主。以及奔跑着 ，全片奔跑着的画面，不断地前行着，汗液打湿了胸口，心肺因为过呼吸刺疼，最终不得不停下。“如果可以好想这么一直跑下去，似乎停下来就会死去。”

（解说）国产小成本电影拍成这样太不容易啦，必须支持！
和雄的“跨越栅栏”结尾已经十分明亮了，踏出草坪的那一刻更疯却也更自由，冲破束缚并非软弱者能作出的决定。一直以来他都是个只关注自己的人，衷心希望他永远自由，因为他很有可能就是某一个的我的缩影。而真正被遗留在世俗里的纯子，该有多孤独？迁就、忍让、小心翼翼，想找话题却毫无回音，生活琐屑里藏着她被否定的价值，于是她带着破碎的人生驶向未知。当那张脸变得毫无波澜，眼神变得静止，然后并不期待作答地问出“我们为什么会变成这样”时，是啊，我也想问佐藤泰志，是不是世界总会走向熵增，人生总会通往更糟。
拍得过于平淡 几乎没有任何高潮与该有的激情 想来这题材理应很抓马 结果全篇充斥着别扭感
你好。早安。午安。晚安。 你好吗 ？你好吗？我也被困在那里。
拍得不错，就是缺点打磨，可能是预算不够，也可以理解。
6.2 怎么能窜了这帮演员把好故事编排的那么无聊？
令和时代的日本男人，不再执着于昭和年间的热血粗犷。东出昌大为男主赋予一种不问世事、恬淡慵懒甚而有些出尘的气质。对人生理想的理解是日常细节的温情。男性可以在同性友人面前哭泣、示弱。可以直面内心的脆弱、抑郁。男性情谊的表达重在心灵的默契，不多言，但会默默陪在身旁；唯一的女性角色也能理解和包容男性的柔弱与逃避。少年角色对世界的拒斥是男主内心的另一个自己。烟花映照出北海道诗意的冷清与静谧。
本·克鲁尼组合这次有点儿拖沓，都岁数大了还是怎么滴，搞这种小男孩童年回忆的路数，地域性太强。
看到了自己，仿佛再往哪里踏一步，就会成为的样子
克鲁尼导演，大本主演，家庭生活片，没什么高潮，记记流水账

他的表演气质真的很难让人讨厌：就像走在街上或者缩在被窝里突然哭出声来,用全身心来对抗日常）一个人没日没夜地耗费力气来忘却时间,真的能感觉到浪漫；函馆或许是散步圣地...？
这属于是东出昌大的“复出”之作吗？意外地还不错。奈绪比跳海少年三人组的存在感更弱，看到赤狐的瞬间我以为穿越到了《雪国》。很有字面意义上的情绪。生之欲，有何难呢，但又真的好难。
