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.
阴冷色调，暖色柔情，上次看类似的铁幕电影还是《残影余像》。剿杀风信子。。。看科普还是近几年反潮的趋势。
想起了《雷德尔上校》，在严密监控的体制内跨越雷池半步，各种fetish。
被同性亲了就去强亲女友，还差点要把人办了这段好垮，用来和纠结对抗吗?
各方面来说都是一部规规矩矩的电影，相比剧情和人物塑造，镜头语言算是比较突出的
对这个世界，同性恋们请永远保持清醒，永远保持警惕，有些东西可不一定不会再来一遍。
这是近来看过最好的一部电影，终于没有骂骂咧咧。喜欢这种缓而不慢，该出手时就出手的干净利落，故事不复杂，情感却不经意间出现在每一个镜头中。
近期看过的最好的一部同影。两个人在审讯室的那段戏，好绝。CP感爆棚。
黑人演西部片就容易演得浮夸
电视电影水准的neo noir犯罪片，放在80年代波兰反同高峰的背景下让人唏嘘。
一件事情在不同的时代被定义为不同的类别，就会在某个社会层面上升起轩然大波。非法时代，牵连的都是生命，精神疾病的年代，把图灵这样的天才逼疯，不道德的年代，催生了更多的沦丧，堪比人吃人。而在定义为正常的今天，过去种种，都显得那么荒诞和野蛮。除了让恶得到宣泄，下定义还做了什么？nothing
为了揭露案件真相，不惜铤而走险，最后假戏真做，发现自我，最后会在一起吗？很好看的波兰电影
风信子，一种漂亮的小花，在料峭的初春开成一片，很灿烂也很脆弱。看地图，经常会不相信波兰的正西方就是老欧洲的核心区；亲眼看到身边某些波兰裔同学的排犹、排华、反LGBTQ表现，很难相信他们的家庭真的来自于那个曾经饱受蹂躏践踏的国家；但是，波兰电影仍旧一如既往的阴冷、黑暗和好看。到底想说什么呢我？男二，快点跑吧，一直往西，别回头！！！
男主一个像雕像大卫 一个像小鹿斑比 可惜一对苦命鸳鸯 剧情有点拖 整体还行
整部片的基调太压抑了，冷工业风格加上大量空镜镜头，这部电影非常适合深夜一个人看。故事的主旨就是建立在欺骗之上的，在一个同性恋是罪恶的地狱般的波兰，同性恋者来自各个行业各个背景，却都被打上了难以磨灭的烙印，只能隐藏逃窜否则就会被毁灭。短短不到两小时的片子，刻画了多个人物，都很成功，故事讲述的也挺不错的，不恐怖，就是太压抑。男二做了每一个观众都想做的事，那就是摸摸男主的小胡子😂
没有什么太大的惊喜，总归也还是不难看。前面三分之二的铺垫还挺不错的，最后的结局不是特别喜欢。
一部剧塞进去的内容有点儿多，胜在故事线完整。科普了一下风信子行动，着实有些吓人
灯，台灯，烘托人物内心，反映[犯人]内心，还有灯与灯的不同
最后的揭秘有点牵强吧，好好的严肃题材有点为狗血而狗血。
小语种尝试ing，男主就是动摇的代名词：对工作对女友对男二，不知道自己的心好像善良其实最是残忍……（男二太会了！！！🆘（看完回来4改5星，我给男主道歉我错了我大错特错我错得离谱）
