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.
一边是广播里背景音里偶然传来的政治背景，一边是迷茫混沌无助的青年人。那样的环境里一切都是撕裂并溃烂着……没有未来没有希望，只有迷茫，只有放纵……
一切开启的时候是最好的时光
难忘入冬的第一场雪❄️德国电影节首映，连线男主太开心了！
年代剧拍的可真现代呀 隔着玻璃接吻好像安东尼奥尼 主观镜头 都很漂亮 死在1931 大概不会有后面的痛苦了吧
理性与权利无法同时拥有，人类的世界终归会走向毁灭。
战争带来的混乱与癫狂，在淫乱开放的性爱中麻痹自己，朋友理想覆灭选择逃避现实，他的自杀给法比安带来摧毁式的精神打击，唯一聊以安慰的爱情也因为物质生活的匮乏离他远去投奔资产的怀抱。最终精神世界无以依托，只能付之一炬走向幻灭。

万湖会议的会议纪要只有15页，但却决定了600万犹太人的命运。会议记录人阿道夫·艾希曼在二战后，逃到了阿根廷。当时的以色列总理本·古里安指示，必须把艾希曼带回以色列公开审判，“活的最好，死的也行”。摩萨德局长带着11个人亲赴阿根廷，有惊无险地将艾希曼“绑架”回了以色列。在3000多页的案情记录面前，艾希曼被判处有罪并被处以绞刑，算是给“万湖会议”划上了一个句号。
好惊喜的影片，1931年的故事背景却完全没有时代距离感，反而是触手可及的亲切。散文般的叙事手法将正直、善良、纯粹的男主娓娓道来，三小时一点不觉得漫长。
激赞，不落窠臼的剧本, “迫真”对镜头语言, 将弥漫着的愁塑造得如此深度实为难得。
好多德国电影都能表现出来那个年代的颓废感。
一场如何优雅的杀死杀光犹太人的会议，他们内心已经到了毫无波澜的地步！
前半部分很琐碎，经常切换镜头的处理方式让我有点不适，难以进入状态，后半部分渐入佳境，慢慢展现出德国1941那个慢慢抛弃理性和良知、走向疯狂和堕落的时代，学不会游泳的法比安于是就成为了一个“不合时宜的人”，对今天生活在此地的我们也许颇有共鸣
好多德国电影都能表现出来那个年代的颓废感。
会，继续爱、看着、拥抱，还有周日下午四点斯帕特霍斯咖啡馆的等待
我好像还是更喜欢oh boy。少年希林开始长大啦...
十几人围坐着，自以为天降大任，实际各有所图地讨论怎样有秩序有效率地“清零”，这是人类历史上最卑劣的一段存在。
从信开始这电影节奏才开始好转，可当你准备进入电影里的时候电影却已迈向了结尾，在我看来完全可以切割掉的前半段，迷迷蒙蒙糊里糊涂，我知道这是一种状态，我知道这是一种状态就够了，我没必要再亲眼感受它一个半钟。
我对这部电影本身没兴趣，但是据说是讲述1931年的德国人的平常生活，我只能说，这个世界的发展太不平衡了，发达国家与其他国家的区别，真的是很多人想象不到的
前半个小时太吃力了，人又多，职位有多，名字复杂，语速飞快，表示跟不上，不适合我的电影。
