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
创伤人和创伤狗相互救赎的公路片，但是这感情转折表现得其实不是太好。剧情也稍微无聊了点
确实没什么惊喜，无功也无过，钱老板和汪的feel good片
安东尼·福奎阿怎么总是拍一些不过不失的电影，就像是行活制造机，让人看完之后觉得没什么亮点但又不能说它烂。本片完全是通过对话构建的场景，所以文本要很强大，可惜看到一半就会猜到真相，后面就了无乐趣了，男主塑造过于躁狂，把一个可怜人帮助可怜人的故事诠释得没有共情力，也是比较失败的地方。
曾经有过自己的狗狗～冠自己的姓，正式起名字，而不是只叫汪汪辣么随意……虽然仅有短短一段时间，但多少次梦里都会有它～于是也更看这样的片子被催泪，更何况男主的壮硕，绝对非娘气那种，受战争的伤看着心疼。
公路片来说还是有点俗套…虽然养了狗看不得温情宠物片但这部真的没有打动我
Predictable but warm 多一颗星给钱老板的身材
没什么干货，比较喜欢的两个元素：查宁和狗，片子都没有发挥出来。
没什么存在意义的一部电影，所有设定和剧情基本上都被演过了，就连名字也起得如此敷衍，感情推进平铺直叙也没多感人。钱老板最近是缺钱了吗出片突然井喷
猛男与狗子的公路电影🎦
狗演技太好了 眼神都是戏 除了偶有笑点 剧情太平了
因为狗狗片就带上了孩子一起看，却是一部创伤后遗症的大兵历程，狗狗戏份不多但是总体不错。
即使故事缺乏惊喜，也有一种极为平庸的发展，但会很感激一旦坐定就可从中享受到的陪伴- -是温暖的，也是可爱的。
越看越熟悉，果然是翻拍……然而比不上前作。饶是当年的丹麦版都不算惊艳，不知为啥要翻拍。
可爱的修狗 帅气的男人，还要什么自行车～ 好看
马上有泪点的时候 咔一下停住了没有那么过瘾
很治愈很温暖，可能生活太多苦，已经无法看狗血剧情，对这种治愈系很喜欢。温暖。
这种题材，剧情想拍出新意是不可能的，老套平庸的故事
最近看的第三部帅哥和狗的电影。不过渣宁在这个电影里邋遢又糟心。露露狗狠话不多。人与狗同病相怜，最后相依为命。重生的意义，互相的。
自我赎罪。翻拍同样不错，老吉实力演出。★★★☆/7.5
其实说到底就是人与狗的战后ptsd，以及人需要及时表达自己内心的苦楚。
