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.
对文学创作图景的复原与时代勾勒- -关于时至今日也足够津津乐道的假新闻与小报文化，也细数出版的困难和挣扎，更囊括新兴的技术与追逐；这些部分耳目一新，也同样被丰富地填满在角色的这些经历之中（更加增添了想买译文那套插图珍藏本原著的想法！）。但这之外的情感戏，旁白的闪现都显得散漫；得承认是因为大家的颜，才把感到吃力的部分迈了过去
也许是对每一个无法改变时刻的最好回敬。我们本就没有带来什么，所以最后我们也不用期望带走什么。就让记忆永留，刻在我们和他们的心中。
硬核亨利，冷门佳片，很高兴没错过你。片尾曲加分。
都不是好东西，唯一让人有点怜惜的是甜美的小可爱。
个人很喜欢 很感慨 旁白配合影片 一点都不枯燥 大场面制作也很精美 小细节做的也很妙 在我们日常生活里 许多人何尝不是眼看他起朱楼 宴宾客 眼看他楼塌了 …
男主角长得太一般了，演得也不好，这个角色还不如让多兰演。女主角找了一个没有任何戏剧功底的是吗
虽然是200多年前的巴黎，但当时的规则同样适用在当下，不愧是BALZAC的名作

场景，服装，音乐都超一流。 经典之所以是经典，在于其永不过时。或者说时代再如何进步，有些东西是不会变的。 因此看到了太多了可以折射的影子。
#听说电影获得凯撒奖就去看一眼结果是我天真了
标准的年代剧罢了。旁白是偷懒，男主空有皮囊。可以看看隔壁的Fabian。
三星半；巴尔扎克名著改编，故事截取了小说的大部分内容，讲述得很流畅，镜头语言也比较丰富。演员表演、镜头运用还是体现了新时代的美学风格，比较接近好莱坞的商业大片，华丽有余、沉淀不足，原著中对印刷业和当时大的历史背景刻画在影片里基本没有体现，这也是商业作品和巴尔扎克小说的最大不同之处
你有才华，你有梦想，现实需要你的才华，但不要你的梦想。怀揣着文学梦的单纯的人，因为生活放下自尊虚心求教，学着变坏，学着报复。最后还是要抱团，利益永远至上。但其实你还有才华，你曾经也有过了最美的爱情。大家爱的不是你的才华，当你的才华让别人害怕的时候才是才华也是很讽刺。男主轮廓好英俊。喜欢卡洛琳，夫人是好是坏到最后都没分清，或者只是自私吧，我以为很难看的文艺片，竟然意外很好看，都停不下来
我真没想到会被这么古（老）典（旧）的叙事感染到，一些地方值得细品。
太平了，太冗长了，旁白太多了......
拍巴尔扎克的作品真的很少见。里面还有多兰，开始还以为我认错了，不看身高的话颜值很打眼，而且演得挺不错啊。
7分，太阳之下无新事，新闻行业从来都是这样一个运营规则，掌握了话语权，就掌握了操控的能力
又无聊又长，坐不住了我去隔壁传场看了一半。不要浪费您的两小时生命，除非你是哪种以为看个这个你就了解了journalism或者可以有个good laugh的。
手动反对另一个短评，男主角明明长得不错演得也很好
物质能够创造一切，也能够摧毁一切，迷失在财富地位和所谓的才华中，待黄粱梦醒方才知晓何为真，唉！
