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
看的第三部柯南伯格，他大概在说两个主题：一是马克·罗斯科画作的注脚——白噪和“器官”（《大都会》）；二是，所谓“normal sex”之外，用现象学那套试图绕过精神分析、权力分析来为“新”欲望营建合法性（《欲望号快车》）
电影行业和音乐行业一样，有作曲家，有演奏家。导演就把莎士比亚的东西认认真真扎扎实实的演奏了一遍。我忽然想明白了，真正的好东西也不需要求新求变，就这么简单明了，爱，恨，血脉，自由，放在人类历史的哪个阶段，就这么些东西。一遍又一遍，重点其实是在每个人能获得什么信息，哪些感悟，之后自己遇到事儿了，有个指导作用。btw安雅还是《女巫》里那个一见钟情的女神，让我喜欢的不得了。
杜比影院的视听效果太棒了，刺激直接的复仇故事。
北欧神话、维京传奇、神秘主义、宿命论。反正我是挺喜欢的，可以说这次艾格斯终于找到了一种可以商业化呈现的方式。
又想骗我玩英灵殿！感觉血腥程度还好，至少没人要做血鹰……
哈姆雷特的故事多少遍也不会腻，莎士比亚才是永远的神。
哈姆雷特（阿姆雷斯），对白很莎翁味。北欧风景与原始民俗秀。我觉得比评分好看。
为了安雅看的这部片子，结果安雅居然演了一个看似重要是则可有可无的花瓶！！！然后还是熟悉的A24的味道。看这个片子脑海立刻浮现麦克白的悲剧和绿衣骑士。最让我不喜欢的是，导演想把这个片子搞出很浓的维京史诗的质感，但是大家说英语的时候，专属名词用的还是北欧语言的写法，就很奇怪。
啥玩意儿 好多好多年没看过这么这么难看的了。我k出场几分钟 一句整话都没说 大家能清清嗓子好好说话么？演员知道自己在演什么么……
人体器官的快速演化，对器官的艺术崇拜。背景设定是可行的，剧情看起来昏昏欲睡。
北欧怪力从midsommar以来好像就成了个潮流 请多来点，这我还是吃得下的
可以消化塑料到底是变异还是进化？
又想骗我玩英灵殿！感觉血腥程度还好，至少没人要做血鹰……

冰岛风光+王子复仇记+北欧神叨设定=三星，Nicole脑残粉和音乐加一星…氛围制造挺好，raw得精致…只是uncle的小王国过于寒碜…主角如此无敌竟然要挂…
没想到其实是《哈姆雷特》的又一版变体。但我并不介意简单的故事，可问题是始终无法进入。这部不像格雷《星际探索》能感受到的作者性和商业妥协之间的撕扯，而似乎更像是艾格斯自己并没有太多表达欲望…光剩下起范儿了。同样作为《哈姆雷特》的变体，《黑豹》在王子复仇之外，还更深一层地探讨了归属感和文化的认同，是个人与历史的悲剧性结果，走得比《北欧人》要远。艾格斯既然已经在这个古典的框架中加了一个“反转”，有毒的母子关系、被迫生下的孩子等等显然也可以有更多深入的空间，结果依然还是直奔《哈姆雷特》而去了……这么一来就显得妮可基德曼以及各种北欧神话的“启示”在其中的作用多少有些尴尬，也很直给。既失望又感到可惜。如此一来，全程的关注点也就只剩下E大和妮可上一部还在演夫妻，这一部却演了母子这件事上……
光是这个概念和执行力 就值四星 何况还有蕾姐和小K的美颜
各种鬼吼鬼叫，每个人都很原始野性，王子复仇记，动作戏很暴力血腥，剧情神神叨叨，磨磨唧唧，感觉像是在拍话剧
又是王子复仇记，故事好套路，还加了不少装神弄鬼的成分，也就胜在场面宏大了。
杜比影院的视听效果太棒了，刺激直接的复仇故事。
