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.
在生活节奏那么快的世界里，我很羡慕这种缓慢的忧伤
前半段都是什么牛头人剧情，老太太想年轻时候想的魔怔了吧，通篇下来低级的想笑，不过一些惊吓点做的倒不错
奈绪的气质跟苍井优太像了 对这种气质真是毫无抵抗力 电影中规中矩 但改变了叙述顺序还挺有新意 最后的“推理”部分反而被感动了 那种奋不顾身的执着 即便如飞蛾扑火 也是自己真的想去做的事 难以隐藏的爱意 连钟表声都是你
“徒劳”“能继续这么久，不是难得的事吗”“爱人甚多，得失且过”
西北有高楼，无乃杞梁妻。一弹再三叹，但伤知音稀。
7/10. 精致复古，血浆黄暴，又痛又爽。乘风破浪的奶奶，c位出道，slay全场。
是因为我对高桥一生老师先入为主的印象吗还是因为他确实不太适合角色……
我想起大二读雪国的日子。一幕一幕，还在眼前。
因为对新选组的历史不太理解，所以有些地方没太看懂。但是总体是好看的，特别是杀阵，看的我很激动。冲田吐血和最后去世的时候，哭了😭
川端康成在日本彻底转向军国主义时写了雪国，低气压下的所谓知识分子害怕面对真实的现实，他们的恐惧是认定生命本身是徒劳，而且越是怒放的生命就越徒劳，任由一切以自然的形态去发展毁灭，这种吃饱了撑的人物让高桥一生来演实在是违和，不够冷漠无耻

藤本有纪把驹子的日记补充以后，行男和驹子变成了这个故事真正意义上的主人公，岛村成了排解寂寞的替代品和解谜的工具人。奈绪光芒四射，单主一生君真.绿叶，高良健吾强势打酱油，那一脸人畜无害的憨笑也难怪驹子无悔付出一切。
比较懵逼，说了点什么，又什么都没说。雪国和奈绪都太美了，美得需要翻翻原著寻找合适的形容。但这个故事，以为会有反转，却又跟想象和展开的一模一样，可能想看一个故事这种想法本身就很不文学吧。
湖边黑影究竟是人是鬼？
Too old to fuck，老去真恐怖，年度最佳无疑了，又恶趣味又精致得要命。Ti West绝对是复古恐怖片之王，相当于是2022年的《它在身后》。
湖边黑影究竟是人是鬼？
奈绪没有撑起来真是太遗憾了，其他都过得去，叙事手法我也可以，但凡奈绪再入味一点我都不会觉得这么隔靴搔痒，偏偏我还是因为奈绪看的，倒是对以前的版本有了兴趣。没看过原作，但是原作的强大完全感受到了。
”不要用雪比喻爱情，它是寂寞无望的"。高桥虽换了泡面头发型仍没有玩世不恭阔绰子弟的颓废气息，也没有演绎出对肉欲的追逐和对情欲的渴望，失败。奈绪的驹子则完美表现出一个本性纯洁落入红尘变得风尘的样子，末尾的日记独白情绪感染力十足。驹子所爱非人，很多人包括我又何尝不是呢，把精神寄托在别人身上，贪婪的汲取短暂的快乐，既清醒的意识到不可能，又束缚自己沉沦在虚幻的爱里，最终徒劳一场
奈绪原来这么美~每一帧都好美,哭起来可太苍凉了～
