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.
恶趣味cult片。素食主义者在法国这么激进吗？状态感觉好像国内的爱狗人士。
我怎么觉得正好对应当下的世界局势呢？故事完整，节奏不错，少量的血腥镜头也足够让头皮发麻，比黄秋生高级多了。 6.9/2168 短评835条 %49/43/8 【IMDb6.7/949 全球票房187.75万美元】
另外，很好奇，头是怎么处理的……
内核其实是个家庭/婚姻故事，经营不善的屠夫，梦想成为连环杀手的妻子，掉进钱眼里的老友和喋喋不休的素食“伊朗猪”
7.0+ 在影院看预告片的时候就已经爽到了，但是精华也都在预告片里了。几处悬疑效果还是效果不错。
猎奇是加分，可是拍得既不爽节奏又慢，什么黑皮和妇女儿童等同起来保护动物不能吃？法国人好莱坞电影看多了吧
确实各种政治不正确，讽刺了一众极端的素食主义，动物环保，黑人，女权等。
这种恐怖喜剧说实话还是挺好看的。
各种不正确，笑死人了，很认真的奚落vegan，没想搞什么平衡的。字幕组还特逗，本土化的很强，黄秋生成了夫妻俩的偶像
3、关于打造爆品的思考：假如有一天断供了，是不是这盘生意就没救了？哈哈哈
这其实是个讽刺极端素食者的喜剧片吧，就冲他们丫这德行我就得多吃两口肉
竟然还不错 👌 咋说呢 任何立场下的极端主义都是恐怖分子
能把这么恶心的题材拍得这么清新脱俗，功力不浅。导演起名伊朗猪，真的不怕穆斯林兄弟报复么？哈哈。
不出五年这片子绝壁会被好莱坞翻拍。6.5/10 22/06/15
好久没有看到这么优秀的喜剧片了，尤其是配合着动物世界的部分
好多地方看得我下体一紧...够重口，但是拍得有点拖沓。
能极尽讽刺各种群体的电影 在有些地方 是绝对不可能被拍出来的 欢乐颂才是标配
浪漫轻喜剧哈哈哈 有几个地方真的好好笑 les pauvres huîtres
孤独、绝望时，一本棋谱让人活了下来。剪辑有点乱
很容易联想到之前看的新鲜，不同的是那个走香艳路线，这个走的搞笑路线，把吃人这种恐怖题材拍的笑死人还蛮带感的。素食者、伊朗肉这些设定也可以细品。
