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
911二十周年，纽芬兰小岛上来自远方的人们，没什么记忆点的歌，女机长的solo曲最好听，剧情也就是传统鸡汤风格不太能打动内心，官摄拍得挺好的。
汤普森女士演技太强，可惜现实中不会有这么又帅又温柔的🦆
Something has changed, something has remained, something we lost, something we gained, while something we've never truly learned… Peace&love或许可笑，但它存在过，也将一直存在。
两位演员的互动和表演极具可圈可点之处，关于亲密关系、母子关系的话题及对性、身体、欲望、情感和需求的探讨也足以体现本片的不可多得性。这是一部让观众尤其是女性正视自己的需要、不用外界的眼光来评判性地凝视自己、解放自己床笫生活的灵汤妙药，和其成为互文的是欧容的《花容月貌》。影片基调细腻、温柔而明媚，二人互相理解开放沟通的模式看得人心旷神怡，我们需要更多这样女本位的影片
所以纠结仍然是纠结的，想要放开但仍然纠结。
感谢在考试周让我看到了它。尤其是前半部分，在各种我们熟悉的话题上笑点频出。
QAQ 再看一遍，还是stop the world最戳我 时间好快啊
这个电影让我觉得尴尬，看不下去，如果是写成小说，我会非常想看。
原来对于性的拧巴不仅仅在东亚人身上，女性欲望和性愉悦的不被正视真是哪里都有
所以只有下载的音乐文件
好像看现场啊。完全想不到的切入点，演员都演得非常棒。尤其女机长独唱那一段，太励志了。
温暖的故事。这部音乐剧演员好辛苦啊，全程扮演不同人物唱歌、还要搬道具、换衣服。
非常棒的剧本！！！尤其是早晨正好开始看《阴道独白》，有了更多体会。将剧本技巧运用到淋漓尽致，像《卢米埃尔与四十大导》之阿巴斯的技巧，只是最后之前的那部分对我来说有些“烂尾”，过于“正能量”了，否则我要惊呼出，比《五点到七点的克莱欧》走得更远。喜欢本片的调色，就像马卡龙一样存粹甜腻
有点过于童话了 但这么温柔舒适的小品多多益善
A fantastic sexual therapy. Maybe I need it too...
感觉看了一篇音乐剧版的特稿，关于信仰的小段落最打动我
三星半 ｜前2/3极度舒适的片子 最后有些垮了 人物的设计稍显讨巧 矛盾起的也略突兀 为了男主的魅力手松给个四星
Find your pleasure.and honor it .我爱最后一幕，Nancy对着镜子满足自己后，那张绯红的脸。肉体间的肝胆相照，是一种救赎。
1st July 2022。首先要表揚一下只靠幾乎對話表情能撐起整個劇本和故事的兩位角色的演技！其次 作為一個女性觀影 看完之後覺得有點什麼但仔細想要說點什麼 卻啞口無言 想作為自己劇本的主角恍然大悟自己根本沒有劇本好像放在每個人的故事中的npc的一生 遇到這麼一次冒險（有待考究這個冒險的定義）是一次「神秘的禮物」賦予的感動。
在至暗时刻远渡重洋而来的这一壶暖人脾胃的良药，治愈的轻抚从耳朵直达灵魂。虚拟的线上观剧弥合裂痕的音波不仅是疫情期间空剧院的魔法再现，亦是大伤痛纪念日二十周年的天国来电。远在天边的世界尽头，故事终结，河海相会，于最绝望的孤岛深处，被最灿烂的人性光辉拯救。聚光平等地打在女性，性少数和少数族裔的面庞。孤舟不孤，人与人集聚成群的意义辐射朴实真挚的大爱。群戏构思应用人与群的概念，在单人群像切换和社群身份更替之间灵活闪现，演员出色的演绎令同样的面孔和音色焕发出截然不同的人物光彩——毫无交集、陌生面孔的人们，因为悲剧的契机被迫聚首遗世独立的小岛——敞开大门和善意迎接不速之客，普世寓言中古老的良善，却是当下失落洋底已久的宝物。价值的丧失与退化，人与人心灵再难叩响的阻隔，自毁巴别塔的危机时刻从未如此紧迫高悬。
