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
干净，简单。托斯卡纳真是还没去过就爱生爱死的地方了。
●女主妹妹反倒比女主真性情。（妹妹结婚了竟然还能这么保持“纯真自我”，我觉得挺好）
不同往常灾难片煽情一绝，想用喜剧的方式拍出来，可是啥啥都不行！灾难不行，逃生不行，喜剧不行，温情也不行，跟闹着玩儿一样。
一星给风景，一星给Vespa.婚礼策划师看看，在这样的地方的“家里”办一场小型婚礼，简直太梦幻了吧……
女主很美，风景很美，只是，这个故事和简奥斯丁没有半毛线关系……竟然还有旁白……
差一点就两星。所有好的台词都是奥斯丁原话，后加的台词听完我直摇头。我对啥样的改编都没有意见只要保留人物的核心精神就好了，但可惜这部没有。诺桑觉寺、艾玛非常适合这样调皮的改编，唯独劝导是一个成熟女人的最后美好幻想，不容亵渎🙏
这种搞笑灾难片真是少有，拍来讽刺韩国救援队的吧
Hurt each other / and get hurt / 难以被定义的现代版改编
蛮标新立异的，舞台感很强，服装设计很花心思，确实反应了这个时代而非还原十九世纪当时的感觉
李光洙为啥每次演的角色都跟个搅屎棍棍一样😂
达妹感觉不太适合这个角色，男主真的不行（并不是说我很行的意思）
韩国拍这种商业电影什么时候可以不加上一些比较聒噪的角色啊？另外，为什么李光洙不演傻子也很像傻子
各位主角自恋又做作的劲头，让人误以为在看美国城市轻喜剧。本观众尴尬得差点用脚抠出10座庄园。这是有史以来最差劲的简奥斯汀改编，没有之一。
这剧情一个小时讲完足以......一个灾难冒险故事里如果没有足够吸引人的大转折是不配称为“故事”的
。？？？这就是搞笑灾难片？？我都不知道什么时候哭什么时候笑
作为劝导狂饭，我觉得还可以，甚至有种别样的感动。
将近两个小时近乎煎熬，女主像是从现代穿越过去用不标准的英音在讲旁白，整部剧就是很违和。美国人请远离简奥斯丁，丝到普丝到普！

说实话 挺难看的 我那么喜欢托斯卡纳
女主那种大龄女文青有点丧有点通透有点矫情，还颇合我意。对第四面墙说话还有点像伦敦生活女主的狡黠。男女主不停的错过，明明相爱还试探掩饰，往返交战，终于敞开心扉还挺带感。曾经一时愚蠢错过的人，还有机会吗。也许是简对失落往事的yy。
