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
20220603，单一场景的佳作，剧情转换再转换合情合理；谈笑间樯橹灰飞烟灭，最后5分钟，左青龙右白虎，7分。
故事节奏紧凑，属于不拖泥带水的传记电影，漫才的故事很容易就联想到《火花》和《昭和元禄落语心中》，“鲸”和“技艺”同音还蛮耐人寻味的，新旧时代的交替，还是有些精神内核会流传下来吧，革旧如旧。
听说了浅草小子是谁才看的 带有浓烈滤镜的电影 人生的哲理并不是在书中 而是在脚踏实地的生活里。
看的时候很爽，尤其是藏尸那段
中译名和海报真的很不OK，没有体现出这个小故事的黑色幽默！bgm爱了爱了感觉在玩锈湖。
倒更像是师傅的传记片？影帝完全被大泉洋压过一头 觉得这种记录那些逝去的艺术的故事都格外动人 像是师父 百鸟朝凤 默片解说员之类的 人与人之间的羁绊赋予了艺术额外的价值
属于北野武的《芳华》。不知是不愿还是不能，他自己没有亲身走过那段长镜头。
还行吧。不过，这类角色对Mark Rylance爷爷级别的演员来说也就用了三成功力，没有考验价值啦！希望爷爷身体好好的，继续演下去~
打败剪裁师的是廉价的蓝色牛仔裤，打败黑帮的是文明的现代制度。我是懂得测量熨烫，叠出正方形胸巾的剪裁师，会用更缜密的方法杀人。身在黑帮，软弱是最大的缺陷。你用手枪杀人，我用剪刀救人。被黑帮杀掉的人，是剪裁裤子时扔掉的废布头。不必告诉顾客不合身的上衣不是因为袖子，只需要替他剪掉肩膀。
精彩、精巧、精妙的一部电影。所有的剧情都发生在一个小小的裁缝店里，时间仅仅是一个夜晚，却能展现出这么有趣的故事。首先是老裁缝随机应变和处变不惊的能力让人觉得他并不简单，随着剧情的推移，观众发现不仅他不简单，而且女接待员也不简单。一晚上的血雨腥风，其实都是空穴来风，而设计这场暴风雨的，居然还是这个普普通通的裁缝。抽丝剥茧，老裁缝通过三次自述，表明了三种不同的来历，他每一次都没有撒谎，但每一次恰到好处的闭嘴却给了听众完全不同的故事。整个故事如同裁缝精确的裁剪一样，逻辑和对白都恰如其分。特别是顺叙的故事当中有一小段“折叠”的部分，两分钟后的剧情提前叙述，再与本应顺叙的剧情穿插展示。两段剧情最后汇集到同一时间点，精妙到如同老裁缝把不同的布料缝制成一件完美的“套装”。
三星半。
神秘裁缝卷入了黑帮争斗，他沉着冷静操控局势，从而一次次绝处逢生，slay全场。
有点小失望，说不上来期待什么，但总觉得会有所惊喜，于是期待到最后也没有等到想象中的惊喜，但仔细一想好像故事也称得上精彩，演技算得上精湛，或许是自己的胃口早已经被快节奏重反转的故事给喂刁了。不过作为单一场景下，只有几个演员飙戏构成的故事结构，还挺不错的，挺适合国内翻拍。
剧本扎实，演技派。中途猜到了关键剧情。英国人还是比美国人有文化
演员好，女主选角太现代了感觉随时能掏出智能手机开刷
“完美是无法实现的，所以才要追求完美。
所有的场景转换都在一个裁缝店里完成，男主最后一个眼神转换有惊到我…但总体有点隔靴搔痒的感觉
还行吧。不过，这类角色对Mark Rylance爷爷级别的演员来说也就用了三成功力，没有考验价值啦！希望爷爷身体好好的，继续演下去~
文本太精彩了，丝毫不觉得乏味枯燥！花小钱办大事，赶紧改成话剧吧……
服化道满分，节奏超赞，反转反转再反转，有点绝。
