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.
救命，看开头以为是花恋，看到后面发现居然是昼颜。酒店穿浴袍love love的戏份震惊我一年，北村匠海看起来真的很🐏wei。
看失意中年男子尝试走回生活正规可太有趣了
我看的只有45分以上，女主秀气可爱，不理解她在为人妇，出轨小男生是怎样对待与丈夫的感情的？
可怕 北村匠海的颜怎么变成这样了orz 开大灯穿浴袍的船戏+部分职场戏直接快进 只为几小处RAD的“戏份”而看的我不是真爱是啥(￣▽￣")
中年同志的痛苦与挣扎…他算好的了有事业还有女儿…还在一个对LGBT相对包容的国家…除开这些…那些对爱的渴望和爱而不得的痛苦全天下其实都差不多…
在夜晚看完《黎明时分》，更平静的节奏更贴近生活
有时所谓救赎不过就是一场异国跨年夜，一次亲人的过世，一段朋友的话语。L叔作妖很疯，肉体很美。#立青映画#
太特么压抑了我的老天爷啊..没什么剧情，但把这个阿根廷中年同志的生活状态展现的淋漓尽致。往好的想，至少还算有钱。有几个镜头老是把leo叔看成marc jacobs..
太喜欢柳承龙了，他的脾性很适合戏中这个演员，哈哈哈
那些悲傷、鬱悶、暴躁、迷惘、放縱，都是只有自己一個觀眾的表演罷了。人生常常就是一場比爛，我也不是沒有過那樣的階段，但是一和聖地亞哥的瘋狂與糜爛一比，只肯把負面情緒留給自己的我，似乎就可以感歎自己依然是一個好同志，然而我清楚得很，我才不是什麼好鳥。
被打得头破血流仍然疯狂蹦迪欢度新年。
&钩又直又长生怕你看不出来似的、、一星给黒島結菜的侧颜、、
对另一半的两点要求：
小而精良，很难见到包袱抖得这么自然的喜剧片了
It’s an Argentine guy who feels lost with sex love family and life, with his ex boyfriend, who left him not for before, his daughter, who is leaving for university, his mom, who died later in the movie and his ex wife, who has another man now.
2022年除夕下午，电影里在巴西跨年，我在房山过春节，电影里的烟花和窗外的烟花一起燃放，一场跟自己内心的对话，虽然很多问题还是没搞懂，但平和一点。人的孤独，渴望爱与被爱。
6.0 / 看这种电影就是忍不住疯狂截图的冲动。从二十年前的《烈焰焚币》爱到这部《心猿意马》，莱昂叔是真 · 人民艺术家。
越是一团糟的日子，越是想紧紧抓住心里面那些美好的东西，越是拽得生疼。
反转确实没想到，但包袱卸得太早了，显得后面各种拖拉。。。
上上班喝喝酒打打浑 傍晚时分追逐霓虹 黎明时分逃离旭日 是过往的青春 也是现在
