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.
说回永野芽郁，我只能说野田洋次郎竟是我自己……
对电影如此满怀热忱的男主因为一次意外就直接放弃精心打磨的剧本我实在不能理解…到最后还在说淑子当初选错人了我真想锤爆他的头！！
浪费了一个这么有仪式感的题材，完全看不到主角的魅力和人物的弧光。一辈子喝酒赌马欠债，老婆不离不弃，女儿帮忙还债，然后晚年突然就靠着一个年轻时偷基顿点子写出来的剧本逆袭成人生赢家，这不就是男人们的童话故事😅 特意来看洋次郎，演得呆呆的，竟然还挺适合角色本身。相比主角，男二才是更具人物光环的那一个吧：对自己有清晰的认识和明确的定位，爱读电影理论，对电影有见解，喜欢看卓别林，听肖邦，弹吉他，踏踏实实工作一步步实现人生梦想。这样的男人难道不香吗
新冠的戏份过于生硬和无聊，这种强行加入的情节，让人感觉太过于游离，但即使没有这些，这剧情也都是跟梦游一样，一会儿天上一会儿地下的毫无逻辑和过度，为了推动情节而强行的硬掰，实在看不出这是个老导演的作品，这想问山田洋次：廉颇老矣，尚能饭否？
btw野田洋次郎是最驚艷部分！
2021BJIFF “你去干什么” “除了看电影我还能干什么”。“看电影看到死”，为电影，为电影人，为迷影人。
比想象中要好的观影体验，中段某个奥地利口音军官完全听不懂让人如坐针毡，茨威格的小说向来描写细腻不好影视化，本片做得倒是还不错。茨维格特有的那种小资产阶级知识分子的优越感和痛苦的人精神煎熬都表现得很好。
出于这样的感慨，导演才设置了这样一个“妻子”的角色。影片的闪回和幻觉的流畅转场，对人物心理刻画和情绪渲染起到很大作用。尽管茨威格小说的精神世界并不容易改编，
我被永野芽郁击中了。
永远对导演在电影中能大胆袒露自己的心迹感到着迷，无论那是脆弱还是不堪。
用妻子、女儿和孙子的抱怨引出一位失败的丈夫和父亲ゴウ，和寺新在电影院看老电影时闪回到年轻时在制片厂的拍电影的日子。很佩服淑子当初作出的决定，不顾母亲和大家反对说要让ゴウ幸福，而不是让他给自己带来幸福，面对嗜赌成性的人还能一直没离婚，忍耐力真是超乎想象。/ 看到最后因为疫情寺新的银幕影院开不下去，母女俩说要尽一切可能帮助他这里被感动住了。一半家族之苦、一半电影天地，虽然感受到了很多导演对于电影的爱，但如果制片厂故事部分能再丰富一些就更好了。Lily Franky和北川景子饰演的角色应该就可以对应小津和原节子吧
PS 电影是艺术加工，并不完全真实，关于主人公的经历电影看似美好，实际上可能却与电影相悖，不过该电影还是值得欣赏的。志尊淳在里面变化挺大的，不看演员表都认不出来了。
只是当年想象的弘大，放在今日却显得渺小了。
看到山田洋次的新电影依然会感动，很好的故事，拜托导演继续拍下去吧！
但是除了男主别的都是纸片人。
LJ日A版蓝光 庆祝松竹百周年 可惜日本人总爱拍点感动自己的喜剧 基顿和伍迪艾伦的灵感 渣男再怎样最后感谢一下被伤害的人就选择原谅
男主有点Mads Mikkelsen和Liam Neeson的合体。
北川从电影里带他走的时候
根据茨威格名篇改编，只是原著中在船上发生的故事改为主角头脑中的臆想。电影从另一角度揭示了纳粹迫害受害者的另一种方式——精神手段，也说明了人类不仅仅是需要物质就行的，这一点与《太空旅客》和《鲁滨逊漂流记》异曲同工。想追求主演颜值的观众可能会失望，但男主的演技真心不错。
“志村健先生，后会有期” 谁看了不泪目呢，在电影院看电影看到死，现实中是真的有存在的啊～
