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.
too much self-indulged fantasy to get control of life. thats what i wrote down. but my mind just keeps thinking of her
21年新片里目前最喜欢的一部，是夏天的节奏，两个女主角通信的时候就像十九世纪的场景，非常暧昧热烈，在奥迪尔的壁画下面，在电影院的荧幕前，统统是灵魂的交缠。好喜欢最后Emily的挣扎，“你带着自由与勇气奔向了我。但那并不是爱，那是错觉。你对我有很多期待和想象。”这段太美了
法式夏日爱情小品，年纪稍大的女生出来之后变得好看了起来，当失去爱情的恐惧战胜了幽闭空间的恐惧，直球女主本能的忠于了自己的内心，喜欢最后的镜头，喜欢停在此刻的故事结尾
“你活在渴望之上”，羡慕阿娜伊斯的自由勇敢，爱情或许就需要荷尔蒙上头那一瞬间的横冲直撞吧。（完了，我又一次陷进去了，年上的气质太绝了。姐姐已经不能满足我了，我爱阿姨😍
不讲对错，只说感受。一向喜欢法国电影中，甚至法兰西人民观念里，对爱慕者更迭与性取向流动这两种状况的自如态度。有人说，法国人在出轨这件事上像喝水一样平常。或许吧。尝新式的偷情和有预谋的邂逅，法式滤镜的确很善于对其去做美化，并往往赋予具有诗意的、艺术气息的、人生价值的非常论点。也不是没有道德观和责任感，只是意外情感产生的浪漫跟激情总先行一步，然后去看是狗血还是真情，再回归一个天性如此、爱情如此、生活如此的思想。感情本多是非，又无对错，伦理黑白可以做到基本约束但不能进行根本消杀。 "C'est la vie"
很放松的电影，镜头和心情随着女主在夏日里奔跑，轻快明媚。
作家出场太晚，女主又自由奔放了将近一个小时，我都没注意到她陷入爱河。最后半小时和前面也甚至不像一部电影。不过最后半小时是精彩的。看到阿娜伊思终于开始伤心，好像败下阵来，我心想她的火焰到底也不过如此，可是最后……
艾米丽说阿娜伊斯和她的关系是“时间之外的东西”，突然发现这部电影的时间感确实很弱……都没怎么吃饭。
有很多文本一定要在固有的思维下才成立，说浪漫不尽浪漫，说无耻也有那么一点，但这是在法国，一个有了无数铺垫的过度，浪漫足以远胜一切，爱上那个美化过的自由浪漫的灵魂。
轻松、享乐主义的女性肖像，不上价值、不故作姿态，也不强求提取共性，比《世界上最糟糕的人》好不少。看《世界上最糟糕的人》时我就一直觉得主角长相和气质都很像德穆斯捷，没想到这次她还真演了个几乎完全一样的角色……
铺垫稍长了一点，除非片名改为阿娜伊斯的生活。爱可以让幽闭恐惧症消失。ps原来全世界的迷信都是一样的（去海边路上撒谎骗老师那一段
真是个想到什么马上就做什么的姑娘 没有一点犹豫和计划 红色短裙的热情 勇敢 大胆
呜呜我好喜欢最后两段她们互相写信和餐桌前的对话
野鸭子多自在啊，不过嘴巴里吃进沙子不会难受么？
好温暖啊 阿娜伊斯的热情奔放主动 大胆的眼神却又小心翼翼地试探 艾米丽的温暖从容主动发出信号 一切都恰到好处 氛围感拉满了
我的milf之魂再次燃烧，沙滩和结尾两场戏★★★★★★
C’est la vie
欣赏a，她很好，只是现实中会让我喘不过气来。
女孩胜在于旺盛生命力中没掩饰自己那种迷茫和绝望 与此同时她坚定决心要自我成长
阿娜伊斯：我不接受，死死拿捏着御姐。很迷人啊你，虽然有时不考虑别人的感受。太自我自由的活着了。生活主线不强烈的人，很容易让你把生活打得一团糟啊
