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.
男主的人设不喜，苏打也不适合这种浪子，这导致打咩cp也不好磕，剧情也很平，不过你咩的昭和造型真好看😊
吐槽清水宏和小津的陈旧爱情和家庭观，但明明您老在21世纪拍出的电影反而更后退了…结尾不错。老奶奶原来是《蒲公英》的女主！
“我的梦想是当一个影评人。如果不能实现，我就攒很多钱，在东京的郊区开一个电影院，给人们放我喜欢的电影。”
对于松竹100周年创作作品来讲，这部在爱情和电影史话的包裹下，依然是一部卖弄情怀的属于日本特有的“感伤主义”作品
纪念松竹100年的片子，从两男一女的爱情故事为小切口讲述了几个人为电影发生一切的故事。虽然中间很多细节并没有讲明白但总的来说完整度还好。电影的元素贯穿始终，到了最后还有关于现在疫情下电影院的部分…电影跨越时空的特质在这部电影里放大，变成了回忆和现在的链接。松竹当年也是靠家庭剧白手起家，后来革新出和其它类型结合的喜剧，虽然这种贩卖电影情怀的电影已经很多，但最后太有新意和感觉了。这不仅是一封给电影的情书，还是给回忆和观众的一封信…在电影中死去
好莱坞处理类似题材总是有点打擦边球的感觉，可以对照肯洛奇的《风吹稻浪》。黑白影像也注定了影片的怀旧情愫。
囧子和咩真好看。这剧情是男导演的自我陶醉。傻白甜女主不顾旁人劝阻和穷丑男在一起，结果下半辈子都在给他擦屁股给他还债，到头来男主不仅出轨，对女主还毫无留念。导演能把丑男的各种行为冠上理由顺带渲染女主对其爱得多伟大lol导演找日本第一丑来演这个角色真是让电影更反胃
確實是給電影的情書💌
实话说这一部算是较差的，本意是电影救赎，却用了大量篇幅讲三角恋，以及桂圆子和阿乡的关系，北川景子挺好看的。
开头跟普通日本当代片一样烂 后面用来把剧情画面转到过去的那个桥接创想方法超赞 接着导演对演员演技不屑的话也深得我心
人物形象和故事情节不够丰满，好几处煽情片段都半生不熟的，永野和菅田的cp感大打折扣
这次的山田洋次 比想象的简单（自以为恋爱的时候 所谓“自我意识”就开始了吧
山田洋次又再次販賣電影情懷，這次真的無法共情，老爺子的電影跟其實降旗康男一樣的毛病，故事及角色都非常扁平，只有死板隱忍的男人女人，論電影情懷就是僅為了心愛的女人就放棄電影院不然就是寫賭博擺爛讓人無法共情的男人，不如看前者《抓著彩虹的男人》就夠了(･_･;
山田洋次拍给自己看的电影。叙事节奏差，故事讲得很不好。31分钟弃剧。
人还是要有梦想的，万一实现了呢！ 吗的，每次北影节看山田洋次的，都能看哭。
单从平平淡淡讲个故事来说，我还是挺喜欢的。
山田洋次真的也好爱原节子“你还是一样美”，但是故事太少，琐碎太多。何必要把一个女優拍的那么清晰。
能死在电影里，那可真是电影人最极致的浪漫啊，电影之神会听到的。（老套也没关系，电影是用心来看的）
把过去那段单独拎出来成片就好了，菅田将晖演技又进步了呀，现实就是有的人能成为导演而有的人只能做AD啊
我对任何关于创作过程的电影都兴趣十足，本片对电影的热爱是浓烈的，其他的嘛，一般般，框架不错，部分色调很舒服，整体略仓促，导致节奏和结构不太行。宫本信子仍有伊丹十三电影中的熟悉感。
