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.
好温暖，80年代的巴黎一隅。喜欢他们的大客厅
奇妙的感觉，在向往的八十年代为背景的影片中，出现了最爱的侯麦电影《圆月印花都》。又能瞬间回到那几年，疫情未开始时，有着侯麦记忆的时光。结尾试镜片段，和《冬天的故事》里公交车片段相似。童年时代成长片段再现，时光如涓涓细流，流淌过很多地方，不会再回来了。720p观影，模糊中似乎更还原接近那个年代。圆月印花都的女主26岁生日的前一天心脏病发作去世，这是偶然还是宿命？深夜电台，倾听述说抚慰，学生时代曾向往的工作地。在天台上，在虚无缥缈的微光里彼此虚实交融。
一群受伤的人一起努力的追求美好生活，很温暖很私人。
圆月映花都，北方的桥，德州巴黎，还有巴黎旁边你们没注意到的库神，很难不爱
我懂你爱我，一直都懂。只是我从未觉得我应当拥有你的爱，所以只能珍藏。我想你永远是Matthias，但我不会一直是Talulah，所以我总爱别离。晚安，巴黎、夜、旅人。
单身母亲加上父亲子女
四个人拥在一起笑着起舞的画面真的很法国很迷人
生活最终不像我们预期的那样，但我们还是尽力去爱了，不是吗?
这电影满足了我对巴黎的一切幻想。好自由，好喜欢。另，这房子也太棒了！
7. 如何在那么窘迫的情况下保持爱和包容，怜悯，确实是件很难的事，或许天然的淳朴可以，很强的价值观也可以。本片给人从容的淡定，可能是女主特有的魅力，当然导演的叙事也不错。
整个电影如夜间一般诗意。
聚散不定，四处漂泊的夜旅人，在巴黎这座迷人的城市里四处游荡，孤独而又温暖的灵魂互相慰藉，很喜欢影片的氛围，都是属于法国的风情，慵懒散漫，眼神里的忧伤浪漫这些细碎的光影就像湖面上的波光粼粼的灯光倒影，相遇分离，一切都在身边无数次的上演，那么寻常又让人感动
“天地如逆旅，我亦是行人。”又一部让我对巴黎产生向往之情的电影。甘斯布好美啊。虽然还是在讲怀旧和迷影情怀，但用得不让人厌烦。音效让人印象深刻。
怎么拍的，能带出40年前的观影体验，腻害！
不仅在讲述这几个人的故事
不同阶段有不同的美，“我们都是孤独的夜旅人，在城市的角落行走着。”纯粹享受这种被音乐和电影包裹的感觉，抚平内心的焦虑。
“这不是我所期望的生活 但我已经尽全力去热爱它了” 在毫无防备的时候 突然意想不到的被戳中 “我懂你爱我” 我的天哪 光下的尘埃总有落定的片刻 那些片段和生活的瞬间 让人猝不及防 这就是生活啊 我们不断passing through.. 在不同路口有不同境遇 这些点点滴滴 构成了我们的生活
最近难得打心底里喜欢的一部，温柔动人。连音乐和光线也满是1980年代的妩媚哀伤。
在黑暗里看这部影片实在是很有触动。巴黎的夜景，瞬间的情动，孤独的天台秘密。想起我的高中，躲掉吃饭的时间在教室里听电台，还有无数个我刻意和被迫成为旅人的孤单。好想去巴黎看夜景抽烟喝酒。法国人，一个用脚拍也能拍出三星好评的国度。
失眠的夜里，倾听声波来信。有夜旅人在黑暗中走来。插入私人影像。循着故事，坠入梦里，下沉到太阳再次升起。
