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.
应该拿这个电影给我爸看，你才50岁，可以成为任何你想成为的人。山田洋次yyds！北影节last one
这是在致敬伍迪艾伦么。。 有才华就坚持下去啊 做编剧去啊 最后去世了还是和别的女的升天了 呜呜呜 好坏啊
青年组的表演略尬，老年组全然一副舞台感，故事在文艺和世俗间反复横跳…
两星半 掌握电影话语权的成功人士拼命吹嘘电影的美好和重要 但现实生活其实没那么需要电影
7分。闪回和幻觉的流畅转场，对人物心理刻画和情绪渲染起到很大作用。纳粹傀儡国中产律政人士，酒池肉林的奢靡生活也要被时代肆意碾压摧毁，谁也难逃被随意践踏和禁锢的厄运，覆巢之下无完卵，结局很唏嘘。
如果说“镜头与镜头之间存在着电影之神”，那这部影片里显然没有。
《好梦一日游》➕《一秒钟》➕《Take On Me-a-ha》MV
总算看到了这部庆祝松竹100周年的电影，所谓镜头与镜头之间有神明在，这就是电影之神！当银幕中的人走了下来，拉着回到银幕中，他的生命也就随之而去了，在看电影中死去，死在了电影面前，我想这也是山田洋次的心愿吧。
松竹百年，清水、小津、原节子悉数“出场”。Goh对两位老师的批评，何尝不是新浪潮一代的心声，大概山田洋次还是站在小津一边的吧。
如果打破第四面墙的情节在医院病房的拉帘那里，我会更喜欢这个故事。
山田洋次为什么要内涵小津安二郎啊
2017年第一次参加北影，看的第一场便是山田洋次的家族之苦。2021年北影，开场第一部还是老爷子的电影。在资料馆，时隔将近一年半，重新见到红色座椅，但是还没有来得及仔细看看。
这种天生你才必发光的童话剧情看起来太假了，日剧也开始虚无，跟经济泡沫一样
祖孙合作创作电影剧本的美好画面真是令人回味啊……
虽然水准一般，但是里面因电影相聚，因电影重逢，因电影而关联还是让人挺动情的。
女人给了男人幸福，男人却用自甘堕落回报女人。ps淑子也太可爱了吧！
土味有点重啊，哈哈哈哈，不过差点看哭了，电影梦真的太难了
老爷子生动，苏打正常发挥。故事老套又感人。
对我是非常治愈的一部电影。女明星开车送女主去找男主的那场夜戏，想起《女孩之城》里女主跟男主的夜戏，那种真正危急时刻的共担。以及一家人最终被电影拯救，虽梦幻，亦疗愈。
阿乡的懦弱 和经常逃避 自我怀疑 骄傲自满 发白日梦好像我自己，看的时候真的很希望年老的阿乡把他的心魔剧本拍出来然后才去死。电影里阿乡真的是烂俗人得了个奖就这样满足了然后去花天酒地，应该拿去拍嘛。 总体上老版阿乡和年轻阿乡感觉衔接的不太行，而且鄙视身为电影工作者的老阿乡在电影院和别人吹牛逼大声说话 新冠期间不戴口罩。
