Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
有动人之处，有滑入梦幻时代的迷醉气质。但也就一瞬
米夏埃尔真是继承了一套美式抒情招式。将美国小清新故事放置到巴黎的语境之下不知为何总是显得脱轨。
啊，喜欢...我承认自己很吃这套怀旧手法，80年代，胶片闪回。主观喜欢的电影都是因为它带来了“联系”。一开头的巴黎地图就想到了《马克斯与拾荒者》，电影院放映着《圆月映花都》，街景和散步的感觉很像《宠坏的孩子》，还有里维特，它让我的脑海中观看的记忆一部部地也浮现了出来。电影院、广播台和图书馆，梦之场所。Charlotte Gainsbourg好美，和在《科学睡眠》里完全没有变化，有些脆弱又坚定，说话轻轻柔柔的简直像Jane Birkin..依旧是时尚master。就是一部很清新的片子，会很想跟爱的人一起看。配乐超好，音乐像被风吹起的透明纱帘，柔柔地，好好听啊，去找原声了...
另一种“漫游式”电影，就像站在一列户外地铁列车内看向窗外，城市以随机却有序的侧面从眼前滑过。巴黎可能就像欧洲的纽约，每个人都是旅人，每当停顿，就以结伴的方式在城市内进行“旅行”。
怀疑是不是脆弱的人就可以得到更多的爱 所有的一些都流动 人物 场景 时间 他们的人生 但是一切都显得呆板又刻意！
我不知道是感动还是因为影片的质感还是什么，伴随着那个音乐，一直哭一直哭
我永远都会喜欢这种影像，困顿之中的温柔的力量。甘斯布仍然是这么迷人而有魅力。配乐实在太喜欢～
淡淡地，八十年代巴黎好人的故事，自然地，苦乐生活，老电影，舞姿自在，壁花少年，梦想，尊严，巴黎夜未眠，真情永不散。
故事真无聊，被豆瓣高分骗了。本片主角是CG的头发，每条发丝都摇曳生姿，不是一般发型师能做出来的效果，使得CG虽老但依然非常美。儿子长得尖嘴猴腮的🐒
体现出法国电影一贯的风韵，同时保持着法国室内戏的优良传统
躺下
7。#72ndBerlinale「音乐性」夏洛特·甘斯布依旧魅力十足！
认真生活的一家人慢慢走上正轨
日光之下皆覆辙，夜色深里无旧梦，上世纪八十年代的法国迷人透了，他们没赶上《鸟人》，去看了《圆月映花都》，墙上还有《德州巴黎》的海报，敬所有有你们在场的快乐
写一些不明所以的诗，不管是否合辙押韵
它真的很浪漫主义 它真的很电影
温情的法国家庭片，挺好的吧，感觉中规中矩，可能没有打动我的点吧。音乐很喜欢，喜欢这种80年代的音乐。
在南昌站候车时看完。在广州时把耳机弄丢了，这段时间一直用着邵推荐的不到十块钱的廉价耳机，在地铁上会担心吵到别人那种，不过也没啥。看电影的时候站里不间断广播着，有音乐的地方只能用手指盖住耳朵，听得清楚点，可能浪费这部电影的音乐了吧。
7.5/10。甘斯布是这部电影的灵魂，她仿佛成为了巴黎这座城市的化身。街头少女与城市的叠影，静谧中隐藏着奔放的因子。这是我最喜欢的一类法国电影，米夏埃尔·艾斯是个浪漫到骨子里的家伙，最后一段温柔的小夜曲让我差点流泪。《圆月映花都》和《北方的桥》，我们深情回望着黄金年代。（好喜欢他们的装修风格啊）
第一次是偶然，第二次是巧合，第三次是宿命，感恩遇见
