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.
delicate，complex，meaningful
4k hdr，感觉这色调对设备要求比较高。除了斯图尔特比较尬以外都还行
在一位艺术家眼中
Surgery is the new sex. 音乐优秀，信念十足。唯一不足的，可能是解释太多，展现太少。
文艺青年型片子，想看恐怖惊悚的结果看了一堆对话…
在硬盘里放了一周才看的。讲的其实就还是那么一回事吧，没什么太新的地方，主题并不“未来”，所谓异化云云还是停留在官能层面，边缘群体等元素的设定全面而不深入，导致全片整体上流于形式，符号化明显。
年度十佳。竟从若有若无的海浪声之中、仿佛因经历核战争而斑驳不已的墙壁之间看出了一种诗意。与去年的金棕榈影片《钛》形成奇妙的互文：本片讲技术驾驭人，从未来审视现在；《钛》讲人借技术以改变社会关系，以现在畅想未来；两者都以body horror为表现形式。或许《钛》的未来就是《未来罪行》，有一天，当人类不再处于进化的中心，我也绝不会惊讶。好想在大银幕上看。
ps：对于我这种拿哲学一点办法没有的人来说，这片子真的是“精神恐怖片”了……
thanks, but no thanks
看不懂的、名导导的、名演员演的，一律算好片。
柯南伯格老师的内心是可太各色了，不好说他到底是会拍还是不会拍，这搁国内不就是坚决自我表达的小文青么
非常非常喜欢前半部分，完全多于后半部分，前半部分被带入一个新奇的世界，像生物一样的床，椅子和尸检操作台用以切割肌肤和器官成为新的性爱愉悦，想象奇绝，但后面就进化成了吃塑料。。。（？）当局掩盖吃塑料的人的进化，最后男主吃塑料感受到了新的进化。。。（？）
被强迫着按一定的速度和时长看装置展览，很痛苦
柯南伯格的人体切割恶趣味，和传统的柯氏音乐，可故事力度已不如以往。有些导演可以称之为老而弥坚，但显然柯南伯格可算不上，只有自己的恶趣味。当然，点滴处，柯南伯格的审美，服饰设计还是在线的。
在柯南伯格眼中
有些头重脚轻。前面对各种名词理解无能几度倒带回看，故事全貌揭开后反倒期望落空，在我这是把整部影片拉低了一个档次。柯南伯格的视觉呈现依旧大胆，结尾很喜欢。
感觉和《变蝇人》很像，总体来说华丽的元素外衣下依旧是常见简单的人物动机，而最重要的 也依旧是 在具有超凡想象力的元素语境下 人物的抉择和情感挣扎，构建出一种新的格外有感染力的体验。还有那些基于未来或者极端情况下的哲学探讨，同时为其中的哲学探讨而着迷（尽管看样子我完全理不清。（不能不再次感叹柯南伯格为这些元素和情感体验赋予的质感，100min太值了啊）（同时惊讶于场景的封闭有限性却让人完全愿意沉浸其中）
本片不但炫技，还秀思想。厉害
为蕾老师的牺牲演出加一星，其他太难懂了，看得云里雾里
Crimes.of.the.Future.2022.2160p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.HDR.HEVC-CM 摄影很棒。其他的没看懂
