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.
吴君如太牛了，最佩服这种喜剧演员，演起正剧也毫不含糊，岁月神偷和这部，都好棒。
34'这个世界，哪有同工同酬的🇨🇷
2021.9.30 BJIFF 北影节最后一场，沉浸式洞穴探险。摄影和导演其中一人要么是天才要么就是在构图上花了大量时间精力去设计和调整。巨幕上看本应该是绝佳体验，深影巨幕厅后排的音响却一直发出噪音……
一部杜比全景声在杜比全景声影院🎥，画面和音效简直太棒了。影片非常喜欢，看完后每个人都能有自己解读，开放性很大～
老人如这片土地（一次轮回的）守护神，洞如老人的脊椎，不断往洞底探索的年轻人们是脊椎中扩散的细胞，他们抵达洞穴，摊手表示尽头，获得一个数字，一次轮回结束，只不过自然可以瞬间吞噬人类，之后开启另一次轮回。
跟着萍姐看的，弟弟最后就这么的剧情吗…男主看久了还挺帅，演技也好，真人真事改编，NB!
with微粒；音樂從頭舖到尾真的夠⋯國語配音我直呼🆘
戛然而止。我在想，拍一个勘察墓葬的不错啊。 @2021-09-21 22:37:43
总感觉如果只是讲这些道理，未必太浅了些
将探险与人的一生相互映衬，最后大雾起，一切归于oblivion，似乎印证了莎翁的那句话
洞穴天生是光影的戏台，细微的声响也一一被放大（因此人几乎不说一句台词）。
在港隊剛剛奪下東京奧運會「一金二銀三銅」戰績的夏天，聚焦殘奧運動員窘境的影片來得更有意義。影片改編自殘奧冠軍蘇樺偉的故事，但更多的筆墨不是賣慘他身體的不如意，而是聚焦呈現他對跑步的熱愛以及現實生活的窘迫。跟隨主角一步一步走到領獎台，也讓大部分觀眾第一次知道，原來不是一枚金牌就能改變命運，原來奧運冠軍需要送快遞補貼家用，原來金牌和金牌不一樣。尤其是今年正值奧運年，各大財團紛紛給獲獎運動員送房送車，我們才更理解殘奧運動員的「同工不同酬」。所以電影在完成了人物故事的基礎上，還想讓觀眾關注、思考殘奧運動員的處境。導演本身和彭浩翔合作多次，又有多年廣告底，在腳本和鏡頭上都很成熟，節奏也不錯，讓觀眾又哭又笑。選角成功，少年和成年的蘇樺偉，惟妙惟肖，舞台劇出身的梁仲衡功底的確扎實。金像獎最佳男主期待一波。
当放牧人从“铿锵有力”的呼唤到奄奄一息，探险队历尽艰辛也终于抵达了洞的尽头。老人生命的最后只能靠着旁人用纸巾一滴一滴的喂水，但深不见底的洞穴中的滴答水声却永不停息。
黑暗给人的就是未知的未知，声音和镜头搭配很妙，杀猪声与教堂，老爷子放牧声与山雾。不过这个片只适合大荧幕看
电影节奏把握得很好，没有拖沓的感觉，几个妈妈和儿子的对手戏很赚眼泪。尤其那句“你是先天残疾，人们不会怪你，人们怪的是我。”唉……当妈的也有很多心酸
一部伪纪录片，感觉导演提供了一切完美的画面。4K。光，在小镇穿梭，石头表面，山间，黑色的云，透风的房间。又有影像慢慢显现，燃烧的纸，人。检测与检查。电视里播着米兰大厦的纪录片。
电影技巧就是average，大有煽情广告片之感。可是把电影当窗户，在乎的是看到什么风景倒也不是风景怎么编排的了。想起盲人学弟，很真诚地出于好奇，一直很想问他是怎样理解美丽，可是又觉得这问题过于残忍。btw一直到看影评才知道原来演员不是真的残疾人。另外和妈妈和解那一段真的好有普适性，虽然问题永远不会解决，妈妈也不是完美的妈妈，可是那就是我妈妈啊。
听觉和视觉的接力：血管、洞穴、墨水、光线、火与皮球，创造听觉的动线，始终维持纵深的、延展的视觉运动
整部片子并不无聊，但真的十分压抑，看到最后竟有胸闷的感觉，气氛的渲染很到位
画面极美...嗯...其余的不太好评价了，摩天大楼与洞的对比，老人与洞的联系...总的来说就是，我看不懂但我大受震撼
