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
非常惊喜的一部电影
尽管整部电影剧本构造真是精巧，整体看起来也比较流畅，但设计感实在是太强了，为什么所有的角色都只凭着几句话就能被裁缝刷得团团转呢？无论是大boss二把手还是最后那个女BOSS，所以最终还只是一部炫技的编剧电影。
你以为的街边王老五，其实是少林扫地僧。封闭空间里的悬疑反转，更像是话剧作品
Mark Rylance好强，作为单场景悬疑片剧本还是挺强的，最后结尾的反转其实没什么必要了，有点画蛇添足。
小成本。讲故事。反转没有很惊喜。但能让你一直看下去的电影
全片几乎只有一个场景，靠大量近景和人物对话完成了一个精妙构思的悬疑犯罪片，有四五十年代黑色电影的遗风，又像是小舞台上的一出话剧。以西装裁剪的步骤来描绘地下世界的黑白争斗的轮廓，就像老裁缝自己所说，“经典永不过时”。
高明的猎人往往以猎物出现，面对猎物会做好准备。全片节奏紧凑，起承转合流畅丝滑，最后十分钟的结局真的让人舒适了，最后告诉我们，鲁莽、狂妄、贪婪都致命，不过就像瑞奇父亲说的那样，你走上这条路还想遇到好事，那才是笑话。
一间小裁缝店，一个晚上，挺舞台剧的感觉，全靠演员飙演技。（最后大花臂什么的，完全没有感受到力量啊哈哈哈
剧作过于刻意。单论爽度，最后几分钟装逼时刻还是够味的，不够看。马克里朗斯和霍普金斯的体态还有台词都如出一辙，都很优雅，里朗斯甚至赢在露脸少，多了一份新鲜感，神秘感
最近影院观影感受最佳 主要是因为没什么包袱只是想讲故事 非常适合想我这种因为想周六看电影所以胡乱选了一个对内容啥都不知道的人来看
最让我感动的是老裁缝最后和那个女孩之间的对话。突然想到了Xavi
但其他倒也没什么新鲜的。韩国人说话又碎又细，叨叨的而且效率很低，骂人也就是西八西八个不停，歹徒发狠总给我一种同一个模子刻出来的感觉。
7.0/10我为孙锡久疯狂打call ，太有魅力了。有一说一，故事毫无新意，没有任何亮点，这种故事估计都烂大街了，而且一直在期待马和孙的大对决，但也是打得不过瘾，孙这个角色相比起来太弱了，被马完全压制，这就少了太多乐趣的，而且罪犯降智太厉害，就感觉挺小品的。
没预期惊喜，但还是很喜欢。第一反应是国内翻拍啊，又一想，别糟践好东西了
优雅精致的戏幕，情节环环相扣层层递进，但是整个剧情都显得勉强和刻意
有一些细节还是没交代清楚，比如为啥一开始弗朗西斯那么抗拒带里奇一起去听录音
最后纹身出来，真的太搞笑了，怂怂的老头突然成了小帮派惹不起的存在，扮猪吃老虎一样的顶级杀手在都市
