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

这部影片是库布里克花了四年时间制作的充满哲学命题的鸿篇巨制。一块大黑石树立在史前人类的面前，他们刚刚开始认识工具，进入到进化的里程碑。同样的黑石还在宇宙多处出现，它们矗立在月球上，漂浮在太空中，带着某种神秘的寓意。 　　现在的时间是2001年，为了寻找黑石的根源，人类开展一项木星登陆计划。飞船上有冬眠的三名宇航员，大卫船长（凯尔·杜拉 Keir Dullea饰）、富兰克飞行员（加里·洛克伍德 Gary Lockwood饰），还有一部叫“HAL9000”的高智能电脑。HAL在宇宙飞行过程中发生错乱，令到富兰克和三名冬眠人员相继丧命，剩下波曼和这台电脑作战。 　　从死亡线上回来的大卫一气之下关掉主脑系统，HAL彻底失效。现在，茫茫宇宙中只剩大卫一人，向木星进发。穿越瑰异壮观的星门，大卫仿佛去到一个奇特的时空，那里有人类无尽的生死轮回和宇宙的终极知识……
