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
回复 :500年前，充满迷信色彩的西班牙，认为海洋的尽头有魔鬼守侯著，只有航海家哥伦布坚信，海洋的尽头是一片新土地，几经辛苦说服女皇资助冒险旅程的他终于发现新大陆，可惜贵族们都视这土地为猪肉，只有他愿意维持乐土的自然纯朴，终被奸人排拆，究竟现实与梦想的距离，会否动摇这位梦想家的坚持呢？-幕后花絮影片描写的是著名航海家哥伦布的航海故事，重点刻画的是哥伦布的社会性。以其子费尔南多的回忆的形式，对其颠沛流离的一生进行了追述。通过影片我们可以看到，作为一名航海冒险家，哥伦布绝对是成功的伟人；但若将他视作一个普通人，他又是一个可叹的失败者。影片生动地再现了哥伦布丰富多彩的社会生活经历，他那富有理想的心智和勇敢无畏的精神，还有那粗暴蛮横的坏脾气和贪婪攫取的性格。
回复 :这部近一个小时的纪录片拍于1995年，是拍完《红》因病休养的阶段。基耶斯洛夫斯基不大喜欢被采访，他在1995年接受维日比茨基访问，整理出这部纪录片，而导演、录音等人皆是他之前的合作伙伴，使得访问更容易深入。
