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

2022年了 还看得到这么有质感的电影 那还说啥
◎很意外，一部没有顶流参与，没什么宣发，节奏缓慢，近似文艺片的悬疑作品，却让人眼前一亮！是种久违了的感觉，那种深深的悬疑外衣下对人性关怀，对时代的关照，对梦想执着，对他人付出，已经很久没有在作品里看到了！ ◎作为一部悬疑题材作品，他有其独特的气质，也是一部摄影绝佳，表演都带着呼吸节奏的作品，需要静下心来慢慢品味，是在短视频或者某某讲电影里没办法说清道明的……也恭喜电影入围第36届法国卡布尔电影节特别展映单元！期待能大放异彩！
罪案的部分有漏洞，但是这片子罪案只是个皮，骨子里是个有点文艺的剧情片，画面挺美，氛围也到位了，打发时间可以看看。
破案过程稍逊色。有坑没填耶。但是个好故事。
感觉导演想把这部电影做得文艺又有剧情反转，但说真的，真的没做好，一个大框架没有什么内核，说教性台词很多，人物都很标签化，并没有深入人心。摄影挺好的，这两颗星都给摄影。
其实不错，值得鼓励，演员和导演、编剧，其实都需要这种严肃认真（也许会失败）的创作来练习来成长。
叙事破案过程毫无吸引力！男主牛逼的不用人描述，逛一逛，看一看，想一想就能画出和照片一样的画像，我也是惊呆了！还有那个队长，暴躁狂吼症吧！
如果没有那个变态的杀人犯，那些美丽的女孩们会不会有另一种美好的人生。
剧情很好猜，两个小时有点拖沓，有些台词很文青很矫情…但是拍的太美了，意境氛围很不错，鼓励支持一下
音乐选角演员导演剧本
情节可以再紧凑一些。人物也不够立体。为啥把林音死的过程给忽略了。
这个名字的字体设计很喜欢！是不是在暗示什么。居然是根据真实改编，那就没有暗示了。。节奏有点儿慢，摄影好像行，也不是摄影，几个空镜很不错。超现实探案，一个画像直接把最难的地方不用写了，这种设定都是设定了也不好说啥。。略傻逼的角色好写，但是难看啊。为什么要写模版式的角色。说的就是那个警察。整个剧本好像还挺可以的，最后能成闭环。还能模糊化，让人遐想，谁是谁，谁死了。色调不错，暗黄暗黄的。 @2022-06-29 23:28:40
2022 No.188 / nd / nd Last：目中无人
除了远处的山，飘着的云烟，似乎和远山淡影没什么关系。警察瞧不上画像师、暴躁有能力的老刑警、身份互换式的存亡与复仇，都算是老梗，说不上好，但也不能说它坏。
远去的淡影展现在画像师的笔下，迷离的案件也变的清晰了。
被片名吸引看的，淮川这个丛山脚下的小城，远景是真美。全片最大的噱头是身份互换，给侦破带来难度。林音被杀后，严华代替她跳完最后一支舞，然后离开淮川用林音的身份生活，数年后潜回淮川报仇。还有一个看点是刑警队长对画师章欣不待见，一个只知道挖苦，没来由的吼，而章欣呢，淡定得吓人，而且有真才实学和钻研精神，太喜欢这个性格了。
摄像挺厉害！但是逻辑上硬伤有点多，营造悬疑感差点意思，拿文艺范又拿得很刻意，两个重点都没抓好而且没啥信息的地方还讲的啰哩罗嗦的
悬疑剧的话不及格，边玩手机边看50分钟都能把结局推理出来了……拍摄手法上各种回忆穿插，太乱了。还很拖沓，就简简单单舞蹈剧团一些鸡零狗碎反复讲了很久。直接让人看睡着，有些剧情有头没尾，有些剧情完全没必要有，逻辑上也让人看不懂。感觉画质很多方面都有点《杀人回忆》的感觉，但看下来，差的不是一点点
舞蹈宣传片 摄影有质感工业水准在线 剧情注水严重 叙事节奏极其拖沓 剧情小bug层出不穷 悬疑的部分故弄玄虚 人物的动机和交集牵强且单薄 干瘪又臭又长
