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
夏目还是一样的温暖善良啊，老师也还是可爱，很温暖的动画啊
温暖治愈~ 斑夏的盛世~~两个小人偶冲向天空的画面好可爱(*╹▽╹*)
没想到年底还能看到这么好的电影，马伊琍，吴越，倪虹洁，三个不再年轻的女演员各有魅力，影片刻画的上海，让人心生向往，街边的咖啡馆，进口食品小店，穿着睡衣的邻居，狭窄的弄堂，非常细腻但又不刻意。台词金句频出，从头笑到尾，作为一名女性观众，有被理解和感动。
每个角色都是温柔的存在(๑•̀ㅂ•́)ﾉ➹♡
太喜欢了，私心给个五星，轻松愉悦的女性群像戏，但又完全不狗血不做作不尴尬，还是女导演会拍女性啊，三个女性都太有魅力了，而且完全不雌竞，男性怕是很难get这类电影吧，而且中年人之间那种直接甚至目的性明确套路满满的感情线不比小年轻的矫情造作无病呻吟好磕多了，中年人的感情也很可爱嘛，最近院线看的最喜欢的一部了，推荐给小情侣，看完绝对不会吵架哈哈哈哈
“今晚的月色很美。”喂喂，三筱，你是错拿了娘阔三三的什么了不得的台词么？ 我也想和夏目看同样的风景啊，下着雪的冬天就应该有夏目陪着呀。（好像说晚了一周，长沙的雪已经下完了嘤。）
善良和友情。貌似每一集都是这几个话题，但我还是十分中意这种感觉。
还是熟悉的味道，还是熟悉的妖怪们，怎么觉得三三又胖啦…哈哈哈哈！此生无悔入夏目，来世愿做帐中妖！
“我一定要回应这份期待，不是吗？”
温暖依旧，夏目系列可能是我唯一追的一部温情的动漫了。
不知道看什么的时候看一集夏目总不会失望，而获得治愈。两集剧拼在一起的“电影”，第一个故事关于期待，第二个故事关于被朋友落下的心情。热闹并不代表充实。
永远爱夏目的温情治愈。。不过看的时候突然觉得有些互动有点gay，哈哈，一定是我不对劲
奇怪的cp增加了！第一个故事还挺一般的，第二个有点意思，三筱声线变化后好性感，没几个人竟然组出了好多cp。丙和三筱出场时差不多，怎么现在一个还能开发新cp，一个整天跟中级大脑袋一起搞笑……
真的好温柔啊，三美的笃定和坚持，岩铁的傲娇和鼓励，所有的小妖怪在这场祭典中追逐，却在三美成功「唤石」后为TA鼓掌，太温柔了。
后面那篇故事也太有意思了，以前怎么没发现三筱这么霸总
两个小故事的合辑。《石起》部分一直期待小妖怪变强的反转，但还是以夏目式的温馨结束，其实也是对的，因为它本身就是弱小但内心强大。《可疑访客》居然讲三笹，田沼的这个故事其实必然发生，作为有灵力却不能见到妖怪的人，多少会对朋友嫉妒或自卑，安排了一个三笹的故事来映衬，也让田沼终于与唯一能见的鱼塘幻影有更深的接触，这样很好。
2021年还能看到夏目的OVA就已经泪目了。本质上是两集TV版的集合，标题已经非常明显的说明了，制作上会比赶工的TV版精致多一些，如果能放三集，合并成1.5小时的长度就更好了。
说是特别篇，但其实是把TV的两集塞进来了，夏目可能已经没办法一整季一整季地做了吧，但是每年像这样出现一下已经很满足了。希望夏目和娘口三三一直都在(╥﹏╥)
一如既往的治愈。第一个故事讲的弱小而强大，第二个讲的强大而弱小
虽然但是，感觉被敷衍了。但是夏目确实就是这么淡淡的故事了。
