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.
在这个宁静、深邃、遥远的，被冰雪覆盖的北国小村氛围中，人物的情感交织是剧情主线，从某种程度上，三个人相互之间的情感交融，有一点类似于《红楼梦》中贾宝玉，薛宝钗，林黛玉三个人的感情纠结，爱而不可得，得而不能爱，患得患失。
冲着高桥和奈绪 给五星 原著党还是有私心的
奈绪的表演太流畅了 干净又漂亮 没看过原著 一知半解
高桥一生和奈绪的选角都不太适合这类文学体裁，即便人物情绪浓烈也无法有代入感，散发出一股照章行事而非创作的感觉。前者没有文人气质，后者的台词有点棒读，演这类题材整体上功底都不太够。森田望智倒是相对较能融入这类题材的气质氛围。过量的旁白来推动剧情是一枚险棋，除非演员旁白功力特好加上编剧特别会写，才会有加乘效果。雪景很美。
武士道精神的最后捍卫者-土方岁三，建议先了解一下背景再看
文学性极强，甚至不惜插入大量旁白来让故事顺畅，可这种每个人在情感里都错付的苦情故事，在我看来真是无聊透顶，包括演员和没有台词的高良健吾都无亮点。
拍出了静默，没拍出细腻，如果是2个多小时的电影肯定会比这个只有90分钟的SP强很多。满篇的徒劳，满篇的爱不得，恨别离，怨憎会，悲伤的牵强，疯的牵强
中规中矩 倒是想起当时读原著的回忆了 某棚景一键魂穿岸边露伴（ 想知道那谁是不是为金10男O打雌激素？？？bushi x
跟原著有半毛钱关系?
岛村就像去探案的🤣场景切换节奏还不错，开头半小时的駒子乖巧得想打一分，后面拉回不少。大概是山猪吃不了细糠，雪国哪个版本的感情线都无法理解，駒子辛い什么？叶子も辛そう、なんで？この2人はどの関係なの？なぜ島村は駒子にはまってるの？🥹书里还能看看细如毛的描写，而剧就全靠读“摘抄”了。（反复出现隧道的样子是想表现岛村shock到心灵受震撼？上次类似的情节是海女了
之前在大学图书馆的时候就曾经借过几次中文版的川端康成的《雪国》但是好几次好像都没读完，今天难得有空看了新版的电影版雪国，之后应该会把原著补上的吧。
意境是美的，音乐是悲戚的，有种物哀的感觉。没看过原著，只记得徒劳两字。
5.1 奈绪在我这里已经完了，高桥一生离完了也不远了。
没有看过原著，看得有些疑惑，叶子这个人物在原著里份量很重吗？电影里是看不出来，她和岛村在墓前的对手戏就一直没搞懂，来得莫名其妙。高桥的旁白很好，驹子的眼里蓄满泪水的样子太惹人怜了，没想到高良健吾也在里面，对我算是个小惊喜吧。
情感描述比较细腻的电影，“徒劳”二字贯穿电影始终，看完后确实有种无力感，影片中所描述的爱恋确实徒劳而凄美，但对于其他国家的观众来说，文化差异确实也是对这部电影感同身受的障碍之一，虽然不能完全感受影片中的情感表达，但还是可以一定程度理解这种爱情的徒劳感
奈绪原来这么美~每一帧都好美,哭起来可太苍凉了～
不能说难看，景色美，BGM美，节奏合理。但也不好看，每个演员都像是顶着借来的假发，披着借来的棉衣，在借来的布景里机械地嘟哝意义不明的台词。人物没有融入电影，电影没有贴合原作。就挺可惜的。
你永远可以相信Ti West。时至今日还能看到那么原汁原味的剥削片实属难得。
不断出戏 岛村的现代感扮相是异世界落魄杀手吗……
客观评价来说，影片的轻重点失衡；整体观感略微有些平淡。不过这恰好在形上已经有了七八分司马辽太郎的感觉；可惜通篇没有太多藏于细微处的壮烈感，也许是受制于水平，有些剧情，台词和镜头可以打磨的更好一些，神上与司马辽太郎的文章只有二三分相似，属实可惜。
