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
太有文学性的电影有时候并不是不爱看，是比较难看懂，即使喜欢也很难准确说出它的好。当然水平不足是我自己的问题。
太沉闷了，似乎德国电影除了拍二战前后那点事，就很难出圈。
文戏部分还可以，但是当电影看高潮不够，只能当合辑看。
如果爱情在你心中是那么圣洁的话 那就最好不要靠近 因为世俗的东西中多少会有那么点不尽如人意的瑕疵…所幸 如果能把爱情从生命中剥离的话 在失去一半快乐的同时 也会失去一半的烦恼…再热情似火的爱情中 也需要面包…
3.失业的法比安依旧内心善良招呼陌生流浪汉喝酒吃饭，依旧和女友感情深厚，令人心中温暖
真的有必要3个小时吗？叙事非常值得研究。前半小时更像是发泄，但才华洋溢。后面两个多小时就是喜欢叙事，又拖沓又无趣。但还是蛮值得研究的文本。
在恐怖而荒谬的世界里，工作、爱情和朋友都离他远去。正要试图找回所爱，命运和他自己那颗不算坏的心却把他推向了死亡..印象最深的一个镜头是“他没有办法来帮自己 他在太阳下把舌头伸了出来” 。最后他的溺亡并不使我特别难过，可这伸舌头的动作真使人心碎..影片的摄影和剪辑也都还挺有意思的，尤其前面那部分。唯一就是还是太长了，超过一个半小时就一定会走神（
这部分是tv里面蜘蛛山之战后的休整，日常生活。最印象深刻的当然就是善逸的种种惊人发言了！
有些电影时间再长也不觉得长，有些电影时长会成为负担，无主之作是前者，这部是后者。
如果能早一个月看 这就是我2021年的最佳电影了 如此惊喜的“电影的气质” the comeback of real cinema 时隔90年后对1931年柏林的此时此地的展现 汤姆·希林与前半小时飞起的手持摄影 让我在观影体验越来越钝的今天再次爱上电影
Martin Eden -Undine-Fabian
电影看完后很久，我左右顾盼了一会，发现自己两手空空什么都没有，却“不自量力”地和法比安以及他的朋友们处于一种何其相似的境地。那时候柏林的每一个角落都潜伏着毁灭，笔迹之下是思想和心灵，政治的号角在一片绿草地上吹响了，牺牲了。
自由却凌乱的摄影机，镜头质感和剪辑多样到不太像是德国电影。想要拍社会环境下的个人史诗，却有点在炫技中迷失了重点
类1984世界里的古典爱情和找不到出口的人们，太好看了太好看了
完成了一个过渡篇应有的所有任务，惊艳的点有栗花落香奈乎和胡蝶家的故事，炭治郎撩妹，（无惨女装）。
然后黎明终将到来。
除了无限列车是真的剧场版，其他3个TV版(包括这部)，都是从TV版里各自挑了5集剪出来的。
全集中→全天全集中

好久没有这种边看电影，然后边哭一个小时的体验了。澎湃的悲伤过后，是一种奇异的幸福感，让我放松又满足。
