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.
7.9 人融入景以后幻化成了画，真美。ps：72届柏林的海报主体有没有一丝灵感借鉴了路易斯的中后期的猫咪轮廓。
【千影计划115】
一个鬼姐姐激励弟弟学习科学的奇异故事，以青春片开场，转传记片，转励志片，转救赎片，最后以奇怪的初吻主题曲再转回青春片，绝！
这种艺术题材的电影当然要融合艺术家本人的风格，而这部作品也不例外。大量的呈现给观众的视角仿佛都透着几分不真实，带着几分彩画的影子。
林允儿绝对是理想型，父亲说出真相那段还不错。
一半描写爱情，一半描写奇迹，两条线没有什么交集，就像两部电影。
虽然不成熟的地方不少，但我依然认为导演是个超级妙的人。他的《那些花儿》是我最喜欢的剧之一。世界上的人分为猫系人和犬系人，猫系人看这片多少会有点心有戚戚焉吧。
为什么有尼克洞？？其实猫片一般都不大好看，这个倒是比一般猫片更多彩多姿一点…彼得猫的装饰画风格很漂亮，就是猫本身细看还是有点creepy，不大吃得消…
画面真美，喜欢猫的艺术家会更加敏感而孤独吧。
朴正民，李星旻演技炸裂！！
亲情是最大的主题，着实很感动，其次是爱情呀，喔磕了，允儿
虽然电影版是为了发糖而存在的，但剧情还是发大水了。建议日影以后把出柜和见家长分开拍，不然拍不出那种感觉。其实同床啊结婚啊都不如最后两个人手牵手、在公园悠闲散步来得感人。魔法再好，平淡为真...
感觉姐姐的部分有些过于催泪了，太刻意。男主也很不适合演少年数学天才，三十多岁演高中，真的太出戏。爸爸演技好评。允儿戏份好少，本来以为是要演姐姐的，形象塑造也很好，但在这里不是重点，希望姐姐以后演大女主吧
猫peter 死了，他哭得不成人形。那种小孩子的哭法感同身受。
作为传记片，拍得一般。有些镜头和画几乎无法区分。猫能成为和狗一样的宠物，Wein的功劳不小。
导演想展现的东西很多很宏大，从而也导致了一定程度上的限制。剪辑有些割裂混乱，但质感十足了，喜欢萤火虫的那一场，短暂又美好，四位演员都贡献了优秀的表演
有这样的姐姐，更有这样的女友，还能要求什么呢？
童话般的镜头讲了个好悲伤的故事。特别适合用投影看，看不出两侧的黑框
为什么有尼克洞？？其实猫片一般都不大好看，这个倒是比一般猫片更多彩多姿一点…彼得猫的装饰画风格很漂亮，就是猫本身细看还是有点creepy，不大吃得消…
英国那个年代很有味道啊
