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
印度拍这样的题材能不加分么，男主出柜那刻真的深有同感，就是突然泣不成声，体验过才了解。
很多地方都看哭了，细水长流，先看了这部，确实很成熟了，但其实有点太电视剧了。
特别好。青年无力撕扯故乡脐带，故乡则在叹息着接受新的规则。妈妈演的最好，但明显在都市的戏，导演就没有在汕头的灵动了，有点可惜。
潮汕方言的外来媳妇本地郎，现实只会比电影更苛刻，远没有结尾这么理想化。
印度都有关于同性电影，希望我们国家也越来越包容。虽然我不支持同性婚姻，但不妨碍我希望他们🈶️更多生活空间。最后被女主父亲的爱感动，父母是我们大树也是软肋
印度电影真的完全不留白 以至于看了一个世纪竟然才过了一个小时 喜剧效果爆炸 自己看都可以笑飞 drama和人物心态转变衔接很自然 关键是形婚代入感十足 活脱脱印度版形婚指南了 这么超前的内容怎能不给五星
笑着看完，比起上一部作品，这次有了明确的故事线，虽然也是一个比较常见的故事，但是演员的表现张力更好了，摄影角度以及调色也有了院线电影的标准。故事不是狗血离奇的，在一个合理的范围内把一些深漂的故事拍出来，还是很不错的一部作品
凤爪不是潮汕菜，这很重要；媳妇漂亮就好，外省不重要。
最感动的地方是男女主分别和自己的爱人相遇，一见钟情的时候。竟然可以在几个镜头之间把喜欢、试探、撩拨、确认关系都讲清楚，让人觉得爱情就是自然而纯粹的。
非常出彩，依靠接地气的剧本掩盖了演员表演的问题，开始还有网大质感，后面渐渐摆脱，完全是一出现实的爱情故事、家庭故事，戏剧性被巧妙融于特定风土人情的生活化场景中，就连我看完都想马上去潮汕走一遭，演员确实是短板，但某种程度上助推了本片的真实度。
以为导演要拍弯变直，多虑了，印度敢拍，就是我老分不清01。
意外地还不错，音乐很棒，最喜欢那首云后的月娘，听到码头问我会累吗，忍不住落泪。那个妈妈的素人演员真好，飞机上妈妈问儿子“你说，妈妈是不是很没用啊”，太真实了
忘了说了，女性不要形婚，还是管好我自己算了🙏。
印度这样的背景下，拍出一部这样的片子，很有意义。很多事情会有局限让人无法按照内心，还是希望能发自内心的勇敢爱❤️
印度电影题材类型真是年年刷新，且质量优良。有生之年内地有这样的影视上映吗？
女主被迫出柜后家人对她的指责也很现实，“变态”“不正常”“有病”，真是有些说法还真是“天下大同”😁。
爱真的是不分性别的，印度电影立意甩中国很多烂片八百条街
很难得的富有地方特色的方言电影。套路、桥段都在意料之中，但还是比较贴近生活的，不少地方让我会心一笑。做作或生硬都有，但不膈应。几个主要的素人演员选得很好，特别是贤姨、父亲和奶奶，他们的表演，有一些神来之笔，可遇不可求的。
这也是我们渴望的议题探讨，至少要给人看到希望，India Bravo!
还不错，最后的结局还挺感动的，男主和女主都勇敢的做了自己，特别是男主，终于敢承认了。
