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.
求求小k别再演戏了😭
除了看不懂，还让人很不舒服。密集恐惧症的那种不舒服，对自己身体里是否有个不正确器官的不舒服。
未来狂想配上后工业风格的美术，柯南伯格的老本已经被吃完了。蕾雅赛杜是看下去的动力。
预感不咋样结果真的睡着了……就不应该信这个邪
对80年代作品如Videorome的回归，献身于进化，献身于New Flesh。Saul Tenser此时更像一位圣人。
只是行为艺术的主题，咱也看不懂。
的。人有自由意志，人是有命运的。环境正是
。。。。。。
大概看了71%？？真没看懂19July2022
这几天心里有事，好烦，只想看个轻松的，这个太厚重了，进入也有点慢 36分钟弃
说是科幻，道具布景却很简陋。不仅成本低，剧情也有点莫名其妙。
bullshit！我思修课的小组讨论都比这玩意儿有趣
可以质疑如此这般的“未来”，但一定要退回到现在甚至过去吗？
应该是离戛纳最近的一次了吧，片名出现的时候简直想尖叫，这么快就公映了，荷兰人真有你的！如果surgery is the new sex的意思就是在无意义和痛苦中寻找意义的话还是蛮酷的，但是结尾莫名其妙转到基因修正这种把人工具化的old sex，最后真正在践行new sex的只有主角两人了吧。当代艺术一旦卷起来就很无聊了。Whatever，如果这代导演只剩一个酷小孩的话那一定是柯南伯格！
#Lab111# 电影的镜头没有啥特别突出的点，构图倒是非常舒适，让几场戏都带有强烈的宗教感，女主女配初遇的戏构图上带有对照感，也是对应在后期阐述的新式与老式，“理想”与“现实”的对照关系。音效中时常出现的苍蝇声是在提醒我们这“新现实”对应在影片未来反乌托邦的设定中，能从影片中体会到一种存在主义感，主要源于片中对于肉体存在的定义及最后的结局给我的感觉。从内容上看整部电影都带头极强的讽刺性，不管是新式的性爱或者是食塑者的设定。不喜欢的点在于感觉到想深度的探讨一些话题，但画面却一直在搞“花活儿”，有种形式大于内容的感觉。其实更沉在画面冲击上可能效果更好。
4.5，仅仅是文本层面就有着很多的结构空间。类型只是点缀，而器官是隐喻，柯南伯格正是通过这点在发出宣告。
除了看不懂，还让人很不舒服。密集恐惧症的那种不舒服，对自己身体里是否有个不正确器官的不舒服。
工作十小时之后看这个真的有点too much，还是比《钛》好很多。
boring and pretentious
不论观众怎么想，柯南伯格真诚地在用身体恐怖呈现自己定义的美感，这一点与那些顶着身体恐怖名号的人截然不同的。
