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
非常平的流水账真的是毫无惊喜（大概只记得床戏很新颖了），期待的悬疑商战让人紧张刺激的元素一个都没有。gaga的patrizia也毫无层次（对不起），除了是个泼妇之外竟然没有一丝让我觉得这个女人有魅力的地方。ps：那个傻儿子竟然是Leto演的！
男女主颜值丑爆天际，唯一一星给帕西诺和铁叔这两兄弟。
听说是雷德利指导，Gaga 出演女主角。来自两年后看完的评论，Gaga丝毫不输各位奥斯卡表演类奖项得主。TF的演员像少爷本爷，司机造型挺有魅力的。时装秀那个男模把外套一脱，帅爆！
《金钱世界》里那低饱和度死气沉沉的视觉风格也被用到了这部片子里，一个和时尚沾边的作品在观感上不敢恭维，帕西诺的表演是众星中最令我惊喜的。
三星半。雷导演这么大年纪还如此勤快，一年两部电影，都是与亚当司机合作的。开头感觉还不错，我就喜欢有关野心和欲望是如何吞噬一个人的故事，可后面越拍越散。开头给人的刻板形象多好，不谙世事的公子哥、老于世故的父亲、脑子空空空有野心的底层女，拿出来就是一台戏。可故事走向却莫名其妙，人物间冲突并非由人物性格所致，仿佛陨石降。没想到爱尔兰人之后还能看到帕西诺出演的电影，和爱尔兰人一样，每当看他演生气，我都怕他心脏病发。
聚齐这么一帮影帝级人物拍这么一个具有传奇色彩的真实故事，能搞出一个这么冗长做作的流水账来，我几乎全程心里在腹诽，这是哪个平庸的导演干出来的事情？直到熬到结尾字幕看到了雷德利斯科特的名字，沉默就是我今晚的康桥了。一定是哪里出了问题，明明类似题材的前作《金钱世界》还是挺不错的，一定是哪里出了问题……
非常具有喜剧笑果，看的很开心.68/100
Dear Hollywood, more Ridley Scott, less Marvel, please! 太喜欢这种正经的好莱坞故事大片了，大明星，大导演，雷导一出手，绝少失手。一出时尚豪门狗血大戏，行云流水，赏心悦目。演员们像在比赛谁的意大利口音更夸张，谁的表演更用力，但是是完美的结合了这个电影的风格的那种用力，结合了80的时尚，80的音乐，非常有沉浸感。gaga让我相信了她是表演艺术家，然后我终于get到了adam driver充满雄性荷尔蒙的魅力，all thanks to the Ridley Scott treatment.
B-. 两个半小时不觉冗长也不乏娱乐，但看时还是忍不住想，如果由老马丁导演会是怎样？对于这样一个戏剧性极强，容量极大，且亟需风格化处理粘合的故事，老雷的处理方式还是过于“沉稳”而严肃了。人物弧光的碎片化和节奏把控的同质化，导致精彩的永远是单场戏，而非电影的整体。卡司在有限的空间里发挥到了最好（除了Jared Leto，他值得一座金酸梅），Gaga的表现较前作有显著的进步，某种意义上，她确实是古驰之家的女主人。2021.11.24 Pathé Beaugrenelle
Tom Ford:“I often laughed out loud, but was I supposed to? "
主角感觉都没定明白却拍地让人不得不站边；感觉只是练手玩玩毕竟隔壁最后决斗同样是一起做的质量完全不一样；服装和一些巧思还挺有考究的
本来就啥也不期待，就想雷德利老爷子能多赚一点，目前来看片子的票房还不错，比较欣慰。拍这种题材本来就吃力不讨好，中规中矩就是胜利，也就花了导演五成功力，对雷粉来说同年有《最后的决斗》这种级别的作品够了。
电影的主角不是Lady Gaga，也不是她饰演的帕特里齐亚古驰，不是亚当德赖弗，也不是他饰演的毛里奇奥古驰，GUCCI这个品牌才是。想不通雷德利斯科特为什么导演了这么一个平庸的豪门恩怨流水账。
不是很明白这一家子的破事有什么可拍的。浪费两个半小时看两个又蠢又坏的人的一生。factoria 8的沙发体验都比这强(其实也不是很好
好像金钱世界啊，白开水，强大卡司能看，paolo用假声说话我才意识到那是莱托少爷
#加州行观影系列#3.12旧金山飞新加坡机上看的。这到底是拍了个啥，要不是16小时的航班我都不愿意打开，事实证明确实很无聊。意大利故事拍成英语片了，为啥Gaga和司机还非得操着这蹩脚的意式英语，真的是脱裤子放屁……
被viola guy叫去看电影，这是同档一堆漫威里最正经的片子了，决斗那样的好片票房惨淡，来这场给补一下票房贡献。毛里佐年轻幼稚时吃老婆软饭，靠老婆杀回Gucci拿到权利，然后就飘了，离婚都不能面对面跟老婆谈，垃圾男。傻堂兄可爱得多。律师从一开始在遗产继承税上就不怀好意。这是一个阿斗在老婆帮助下骗堂兄举报伯伯，再踢走堂兄，最后自己飘了踢走老婆，再被投资人和律师联合踢出局，伤害老婆尊严被买凶枪杀的故事。

看到了我鳖表演的上限，祝酒歌play不忍直视，司机梦女算我一个
比较平，老雷的行活作业，这个故事应能拍出更大风浪的，虽有抓马情节，但整体还是偏古典克制，大牌们都挺入戏，和老雷一起保证了本片下限。
