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.
知晓导演想表达什么，压抑解放blablabla，但看完只觉得无病呻吟，配乐也不喜欢。ks个人特色（长相姿态）太明显演传记片差了点。
+，这种束缚，这种释放，甚至能直接套用到政治高压下的小人物。仆人们整齐划一得与士兵一样，无论你说什么做什么都会被窥探。
不再说她著名的死亡，又处处与她的死亡关联。应景的女性题材，皇室教条是社会给女性的压迫的夸张版，喜欢台球桌那场戏，复杂的对峙，既有愤怒又有理解，但有的人秉性可能就是烈马，驯马人会在战争中死亡，老朽的事物会衰败，而那匹马依然使人铭记并“震惊”。问题还是内容设计得有些简单了，隐喻显著，技巧套路。看完会明白为什么会选K来演，因为想要的就是她骨子里的劲，K就是这一代最不驯的女演员。
a combination of porn and comedy
7/10，构思和执行都不错，尤其是视听较为风格化，观影时总让我想起闪灵和柯南伯格的那些早期电影
取三天，is it the past, the present or the future, 三天，什么样的悲伤都有。每个走廊镜头、推拉镜头，身后总是墙，她没有地方可逃。
莎莉霍金斯的角色就真的只适合她！
？摄影机不断地缠绕、逼近，直至侵入角色，鱼眼式畸变正是感觉的起点；距离是尴尬的
It's not just me who loves you!
20220306le。给英国人拍的、冲着奥斯卡去的电影。
在圣诞假期里，戴安娜意识到她受到了冷暴力的精神凌虐，度假宫殿仿佛已成为囚牢，一想到童年时的快乐时光她就分外想重新得到自由。
黛安娜王妃就是这样的吗？小k演的好做作。影片节奏很奇怪，太浅了还乱
但过于碎片化的心理状态描摹却也一定程度上让小k的表演显得零碎而缺乏完整性，脱离于时空与历史整体的人物也始终略微空洞，不过女主提名是板上钉钉，个人也希望能最终获奖
不了解真实的戴安娜王妃是什么样子，但K女士的演绎实在是让人浑身难受。 我不理解，我不认同。
另，某字幕组，历史知识是有多匮乏才能把简西摩备注成女演员（。更不用说多次把指代戴安娜未来的Queen翻成女王了。
电影只是截取了很短的一段时间的一些细节，而大量的戏份又给到了戴安娜身上，这场婚姻的另一位主角戏份则寥寥无几，从而戴安娜被塑造成了一个被种种枷锁束缚的女性，这种结局如何演变而来却无从得知
#观影手记# 2355
Depressing and beautiful. I think Pablo Larraín is better with character-centric films that involve much more dynamism, like Ema. There's some parallel, of course, in his treatment of these two female characters' range of emotional experiences, but this one feels flat. The release at the end feels satisfying, despite its smallness.
自己看了一下看不进去，找了小破站的40分钟解析看完了
怎会有如此做作的电影…还有，小K，我们不要再挑战自己，演这么需要演技的角色了好吗？看得我如坐针毡，芒刺在背，坐立不安。
