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.
除了"幽閉"之外毫無新意
长镜头带出的法国街景，海边美景，还有片子里明亮的色调，看了让人真是舒服。
还挺喜欢的 这样的羞赧和大胆谁又有推开的力量呢
海风微咸，舌尖品尝着阳光的灼热，红唇亲吻着沙滩，耳边听着浪花翻涌，爱欲发生在夏天。
前后有点割裂，像两部电影了。有几场有点直接copy其他女导演的片子了，开场奔跑像Frances ha, 游泳和结尾见面像Adèle,海滩又像燃烧女子肖像。看下来还是挺娱乐挺好看的。
少女：我偏要勉强。作家：暂且一晌贪欢。(但其实用"勉强"来形容不太合适，她们明明两情相悦然而作家只是更清醒)
结局对比《圣母》，竟然有点洪常秀的意思了xs
I do not agree. Even if it's just an illusion, let's love when it is there between us till it no longer is.
肯定是无法避免跟《世界上最糟糕的人》做对比的，但是个人观感好很多；可能穿着小碎花裙狂奔的法国人还是更可爱一些，而后来发现她爱上的人更有魅力、更知性，还带着羞涩又沉稳的笑，蓝蓝的眼睛+“说吧 来吧 我在这里了”，衬托下片子中的男性都弱爆了；anais永远是一抹红色做事也风风火火，女作家则是像一抹安静深邃的蓝色，静静告诉她需要打破自我，把自己的力气完成更大的事，爱欲并不是一切，现在看来我是同意的...但是同样anais跳上自己害怕的空间用勇气表达自己的爱，迈出那一步也是非常美妙的，不论结局如何，非常惊喜及欣慰能在大银幕看到的片子♪谢谢法文
true！说再多也没用，一句“我不同意”直接沦陷了。不知道如何抵抗曾经也年轻漂亮勇敢的自己。
她阅读的书，撕掉的信，和她无时无刻的奔跑，都证明她认为只有接近激情，人才是活着的。为此，她才会这样的吸引人。不知为什么，莫名想起另一部叫做弗兰西丝哈的电影，这两位女主都让人，喜欢。
- “Je veux tout faire avec toi.Dis moi comment calmer mon impatience."
女主奔跑的夏日故事，有那么一瞬间想起了天使爱美丽的镜头
不行诶，就算我再向往和追求随性与自由，以及找到自己爱人的方式，电影里Anais不负责任的程度还是给了我更大的焦虑。不行不行。
是不是所有年上都会对年下说Emily对Anaïs说那一句“你在我这里看到的只是幻想，而不是爱”？可是这样每条皱纹里都写满了优雅与从容，岁月都对她手下留情的年上是年下拒绝不了的，她们有着致命的吸引力，就像Emily对Anaïs。也像她们对于我。
喜欢看一些法片的原因是，总是那么自如和随性，太美丽了！
女主其实一直在跑、跑、跑，她真的好有活力、好夏天，整个三观也太法国了，我非常非常喜欢
“你能意识到吗？你奔向了我，带着自由与勇气。”
这部电影的意义在于结尾作家的一席话，要真挚的去爱但不要让爱挤满整个空间，如果一定要写那就写吧或者做点别的什么，利用身上的特质做点让你生活着的事。听君一席话，对方却说I don’t agree
于是那天晚上
