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 松阳新闻最新新闻一个男孩因为向父母讨要零花钱失败,去当了自己的手表,却换回一张500元法郎的假钞。之后,这张假钞在很多人之间转手,最后落到了一个叫伊文(克里斯琴·佩蒂 Christian Patey 饰)的年轻人手中。伊文试着去餐馆花掉这张假钞,但被服务员发现了。警察认为他参与了假钞贩卖案而逮捕了他,但法官念他初犯,没有给他判刑。伊文释放之后,丢了工作。没有了钱,他只好和朋友去银行抢劫,却又一次栽在警察手里,被抓进监狱,被判刑三年…… 本片是布列松的最后一部作品,改编自托尔斯泰的短篇小说《伪息券》,曾获第36届戛纳电影节主竞赛单元最佳导演奖。
