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
“日本已经很久没有出现狼了”
片名怎么也不像悬疑片。更像是文艺片。
还以为是青涩变痞了，不料都是棋局。那个大老粗不就是狠么，居然会上位，这黑帮是可以完蛋了。搞来搞去，最厉害还是编剧，但不甘心被玩弄。
我只想说！这部剧给3星以下的，丧心病狂！！！
全片写的最好的人物竟然是铃木亮平演的没血没泪的杀人魔
寸头好看，冷脸更好看，冷着一张脸扣扳机最好看，哦内该 演点儿神经质冷脸男吧。
服化道质感都在线，几个空镜很有感觉。探案中夹杂着一丝感性的思考，骨子里是个文艺片
2022.2.9.。没有第一部的感觉在了，即使挖了再多的眼球也一样，全片就铃木亮平像那么回事。松坂桃李还是撑不起这个角色，村上虹郎一如既往的用力过头，西野七濑抱歉还是去偶像档吧，完全多余。简单的故事非要搞复杂，然后结尾拍的不伦不类。完全没有第一部给人的印象深刻。
故事线没有第一部精彩，卡司没了役所桑整体弱了些，亮平优秀到我以为他是一番。其他都跟第一部持平。三星半吧
男主换了一个发型后让人眼前一亮，能感觉到他在经过上一季的事件后，更稳重了。但感觉他在这个位置上城府还是不够深，思考的速度也没法快人一步。最后看似抓出了警方的叛徒，但这一切都是在反派有没下死手的前提下达成的。整体的上感觉一般，没有第一部来的冲击大。
就大林子这种精神病型yakuza，通常活不过三集，怎么会作威作福至此，他手下每个人都有责任，暗地里给他一枪什么都解决了，也不用承受如此巨大的职场压力
完全不逊于第一部的好看。这是两匹凶恶孤狼的互相撕咬与闪烁着幽暗邪恶目光的浮世绘。这系列本无意把重点放在传统黑帮片里黑社会随着时代式微的记录，而是揭示着黑社会犯罪与政治犯罪的巨大区别。后者常以程序正义之名做着恶行易施之实。两种以极端方式实施善与恶的力量，任由腐败黑暗的司法体系的操纵，直至共同毁灭。结尾山隐里明灭可见的孤狼成为一种怀疑，亦是一种希望。极端的残忍画面、无良媒体的无来由改变立场、无视人物行为逻辑，为残酷而残酷的动作场面都为这部作品增加了瑕疵。但这一定是一部好电影，希望以后会有两部剪为一部的导剪版。
结局太仓促了，想放的东西太多，但是没有完全表达出来，有点小遗憾
导演太沉迷于自己的暴力不美学了 剧情张力不够唉 仔细想想前作也是役所广司撑起来的 村上虹郎真可爱啊
昭和末期的镜头光感 看得很带感 有yakuza的味道了
典型的日式复仇，全程压抑+警察无能，整体不如上一部
前作有个不错的主题，你在窥视深渊，深渊也会吞噬你，但很遗憾续作遗失了这个主题，也可能是日冈最终成不了一匹狼，只能做一只组织的狗。另外组织这个东西只要存在就有钓鱼执法虚增业绩这个毛病。幸太真的很可惜，即使卑微也要贯彻自己，感动。铃木亮平的演技甚至盖过了桃李的主角光环，还有那些黑道电影常客的老戏骨们以及加入了新常客工桑和太一。唯独西野七濑，没有妈妈桑的气场，弟弟死了哭的也好假
丹江口拍摄的。
摄影略好，表演后期勉强及格。其他部分就都是问题了，2小时的时长水份太多，剪掉20分钟完全没问题，无论当初目标是院线还是网络，这个时长都是很难接受的。剧情方面，看了开头，推理爱好者基本可以才出一个大概来了，但是bug实在太多。推理方面，首先是当初的尸体被被刨出来没人发现真身。老警察的录音带自己听了也不上报，夜晚遇到强奸犯也没有后续，土枪来源避而不谈了，这都是明显的问题。新老警察配的经典组合却没有用好，缺少互动交集，老警察老发火，主人公明明啥也没影响他。两个女性的交集缺少铺垫，仅仅是一点点跳舞宣传片蒙太奇就把关系推上去了完全不够。再加上调色的泛黄老调子和现实没有区分开，表演上女孩见到主任就上去动手动脚等等问题。总之创作者的问题还是比较多的。
第二部水平下降也太多了吧，两边都是莽夫一点脑子都不带的，看着人捉急。
