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.
太啰嗦了，就怕观众看不懂，不懂留白和影像本身的功能吗
叙事做得很简约，没有过多的编排和匠气，也可以说是很平常的流畅。好看还是在逼仄的构图，浅淡的拟胶片色彩，深沉气氛里激起对害家庭主妇病的反思，另外，这一切很痛
其实这个故事不需要疫情，后半段说的那些才是它要打动你的东西。这里的瀑布就是阳光普照里的阳光，你不知道哪个瞬间突然就明白了。
This movie made me feel the pain, in a physical way. Just the thought that my body could potentially bear a life makes me feel horrified. Having a uterus is the original sin of a woman.
信念 勇气 饥渴
英国，瑞士，爱尔兰，韩国，法国。全世界就这五个国家有这狗规定。
全篇无全景镜头 四比三的选择非常妥帖 通过运动和控制焦点 景深 变焦一系列技术操作来实现信息量的控制 突然get到了 手持四比三偏纪实感的全部奥义
前半段真该拉去反矫组批一下，不过结尾我挺喜欢的。（菜头好帅，女主是照着文淇找的）
看得我心惊胆战，这是一种女人才会得的病，让女人变成家庭主妇的病，让女人失去梦想的病！限制堕胎就是把女性身体物化甚至公有化的一种行为，如果无法决定自己的身体，那么一切权利都是虚假的存在！
几乎没有避讳用镜头，我不知道伴随而来一波又一波生理心理的双重不适感袭来的，算不算影片带给的精彩。。。头次看到这种犀利直面女性生育伦理的电影，不得不说我被某些画面和自己强作的感同身受给震到了～
焦点很浅，景别很紧，这点蛮统一的，表现女主与周遭的隔绝与无助很到位，但没太理解为啥镜头总是对着女主的上半身甚至面部，连个全身镜头都没，放大其情绪吗？没想到最后给到帮助的是风流男同学。随着计时的推进，境遇恶化时伴随着异样的配乐。好像当前版本比电影节删掉了几分钟最“疼”的，引起的生理不适比《钛》还是少多了。7.5/10
台湾能有钟孟宏这样的导演是一大幸事，华语电影能有钟孟宏导演亦是如此。影片结尾妈妈喊出小静的时候，泪水也从我眼中无预警泄洪出来。
今年初冬看回归故里的时候，发现法国同样也有一段令人难过的保守时日，要等待，坚韧地对待现实，会变好的。在发生无限靠近个体，为只会攻击女性的疾病而痛呼，为价值目标下被牺牲的个体而记录，这种选题永远非常珍贵。
法国的“裹小脚”时代，只是不管哪个地域哪个国度的封建时期，受迫害最深的，永远是女性。镜头尺度挺大，疼痛感强烈，一部女性专属的恐怖电影。
1.“不要靠近男人会变得不幸”简直就是真理啊。好痛啊，太痛了，和《四月三周两天》一样。对女性太不公平了。爱情和性欲，只是欺骗女人生育的谎言。
目前感觉是2021三大电影节大奖获奖影片中最弱的一部
迎来了一个“自然流产”的定论
#法国文化中心#冷静客观的视角呈现，只不过在一众优秀的“堕胎电影”面前倒也显得平庸。
67/100。我看的这版，貌似最有视觉冲击力的片段被删减了……？所以看后觉得没有《钛》痛啊……女主的绝望通过镜头表现得很好。但确实没有什么独特之处和创新的点。获2021欧洲三大电影节最高奖项的电影里还是最喜欢《钛》。
1940年的法国🇫🇷，80多年过去了，世界上还是很多地方不能自由堕胎。美国最近将堕胎权利放到各州自己决定。女人的子宫，如果生和不生没有100%的决定权，那女人是什么？奴隶吗？生育机器吗？
