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
打着情色的标签，结果居然是一部温情的话痨片。所以究竟是身体上情欲的吸引更让人着迷，还是彼此挨着的耳边絮语和倾听更迷人？又或者是两者都密不可分？最棒的是最后Nancy和Leo都获得了解放。
很好。预设心碎的小bitch是真的很男性piao客思维了。真身暴露对任何人来说都是冲击但实际上也不会造成伤害，反而是另一种刺激，接受再试探再努力真诚，伤害也会转化为活力。清单和贝基都很可爱。母子线很真实。汤普森也真是强。
即使是构建的屏幕乌托邦，现实如果能朝向它迈出小小的一步也很棒啊。感觉就像一桶火药，等待着火焰的到来。～
不会再为了肉欲而失控，只会为了灵犀而泪涌
第一次见到男的肉身菩萨，又唤起了和双性恋男谈恋爱的fantasy！（男主这种当然不可能是纯直男）
非常非常温柔的性交易。性圣人，你好，祝你好运。
虽然情节完全可以预料，但最后Emma在镜头前完全展露自己的身体真的让人感动，这个爱尔兰男生也完全接住了影后的戏（而且太帅了
。
i want that service too
也只有女导演能拍出这样的电影了，探讨了关于性的边界，性的羞耻感，女人对变老不再年轻美丽的难过，困于家庭社会角色出不去的无奈。对小鲜肉的镜头定义了女性凝视，很有趣，希望能有更多类似的作品。Emma Thompson依然魅力十足
C / 剧感很重，喜欢fantasy的构建和实用的床上对话语录，喜欢男演员，不喜欢后半段打探现实生活开始的交叉，强行打破幻想的双向救赎就像如果「罗尼和我」的后半段突然让直男表现出现实的软肋一样，瞬间没劲。
除了导演带给大家的极致浪漫/扫兴沉浸式体验，片子本身的精巧也非常难得。第四幕的设计不得不说是近期少见的华彩，台词的精妙加上两人出色的演绎，把这段奇妙的关系推向了新的境地。好片子就是各方面都出色的完成。对我来说女主的一些心态是比较容易代入的，这也让人更加沮丧，世上是否真的有人哪怕为了钱也要让你感受到你想得到的「松弛」，这简直就是活着的菩萨吧
从女友邻的反馈来看，这片有望成为年度top10。最后女主全裸出镜的动作，加一星。爱上自己的身体，是性福的本源。
Emma Thompson 无比珍贵独特的一次表演，戏外的她有多开朗多口无遮拦，戏里展现起对性爱的羞耻与自卑时就有多惹人怜爱。而即便在角色最 vulnerable 的时刻，她的表演也是那么 honest, generous & dignified。新人男主 Daryl Mccormack 毫不逊色，一双浅瞳大眼睛平静如水，映照女主的情绪并全盘吸收，how indulgent。几乎从未离开酒店的摄影和轻快顺滑的配乐是画龙点睛之笔。情节上觉得有趣的是，女主每次在性爱得到满足和解放后，本我都会膨胀得使她变得丑陋。Sexual fulfilment makes her so unhinged it's actually a very accurate observation.

1、追求愉悦，是人的本能。
过于明晰而简单，像是一种政治口号的图解。性的交流里怎么会有那么多边界清晰、分寸拿捏恰当的对话。。
本来其实四星蛮稳的，当男主说性工作合法化的时候我下头下到南极，艺术表达有自由我尊重，同样我也有表达不接受的自由
开始看时觉得应该拍成一个系列，里奥·格兰德这个披着性工作者外皮的心理咨询师，过于从容有度，想看他接诊各种客人，而不是一个典型拘谨的白人大妈，这个女性形象多少有些刻意得惹人嫌，不过在最后，话锋又转向了里奥本人，让两个角色都成为了性压抑的受害者，最后加戏的在镜中欣赏自己并不年轻的肉体一段还是很不错，是挺轻松有趣的话剧电影。
