回复 :華沙大學助理教授馬立克長途跋涉，去探訪闊別五年的好朋友兼大學同學楊，目的是要請楊返回大學工作。37歲的楊放棄了大學教席，在一個孤立的氣象站工作，與任職小學教師的妻子安娜及他的祖父住在偏遠的農村小屋，家中甚至沒有一個電視機。當地人亦沒有什麼文化生活，與楊格格不入。馬立克是個前途燦爛的物理學家，專長是研究人工水晶體，曾在哈佛大學和莫斯科留學兩年半。馬立克已離婚，採取玩世不恭的態度對待工作和愛情。他認為付出的必須要有回報，他無法理解為何楊可以在這貧瘠的地區滿足自己。馬立克對安娜描述外地的風光，以幻燈片證明美國的美好生活和蘇聯共產主義的弊端，引起從小在窮鄉僻壤長大的安娜憧憬，兩人甚至幾乎發生戀情，但她最終還是把他送走。影片藉馬立克與楊對人生、愛情和科學的不同態度，探討知識分子應如何在社會上發揮功能，並提出了深刻的哲學問題。

回复 :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. 10/10Also 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
