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
这个立意比较新颖吧——“特工为了心爱的人而背叛全世界”
好剧本、好演员，但电影的大量信息主要以谈话形式展现，看起来太累，也不够有节奏。
包装成间谍片的爱情片。
从《西部世界》里的俏老鸨到这部电影的人老珠黄，实在没法看了。这破电影也没法看，用一个罗生门的谍战片外壳，套了一个俗套的爱情故事。
前面很好，插叙也有意思，残雪未消的维也纳和金色日落下的加州相顾无言。最后的反转很好猜，本来还期待反转中的反转，男主所做的一切还是为了掩护女主什么的，然而还是爱情，什么都是关于爱情，累了。ps：派演了三个年龄阶段，我悟了，头发颜色是关键！再ps：派的德语说得好烂。
是我看过太多信仰坚定的国产谍战片了吗？还是我错过什么细节了吗？
一开始看完还以为是女性导演拍摄的，非常的细腻，故事的主线居然是爱情，与我预想的谍战题材不太一样。
有点压抑，做爱的时候的BGM也很悲情。 要是早点和扣扣一起看电影，我就不用在冷风中吹一个半小时还花四百大洋了 呜呜
氛围感很好但逻辑不通啊，恐怖分子到底是为了报复还是为了情报还是为了释放人质？一开始电影黑俄罗斯也算是常规套路了，男主自爆出卖了一个线人，后面又出卖一个线人，啊这。。。怎么骂人还捎带上自己的呢？
这部电影里面克里斯派恩还是可以，三个年龄段完全不一样的风格，最后这个成熟阶段很有皮尔斯布鲁斯南的感觉。至于女主角，完全没有能够和派恩搭戏，没有CP感，分分钟出戏。
螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后。谁是螳螂，谁是蝉，谁又是黄雀。
《维也纳行动》。间谍不悬疑。
节奏慢，故事挺有意思，多年后复盘调查，不过这对黑白配也不来电，能不能换一个女主，为了政治正确而政治正确。还有就是为啥要搞这么多鼓掌，剧情好像也不需要呢，
演技过关气氛过关，不过故事就…谍战剧拍成爱情剧…
女主太老太普通。
比我想象得好看很多诶！派派美好肉体get！
嘴炮悬疑惊悚片，前一小时看着很累人，就是要反转反转再反转，打着旋儿地反转，刻意的设置不免有逻辑漏洞，乐趣就是猜坏蛋
對話與剪接交織出懸念及劇力，卻被「刻意感動」的高潮拉垮。
一次恐怖劫机案似有内鬼，谁是内鬼？一对旧情侣再次相会，追忆往昔，真相大白。谍战与办公室恋情，都要当心背叛与出卖。
说不上好看也不难看的一般水平，开始以为是谍战片的爱情故事，和缓但是不慢，就是有点电视感。
