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.
柯南伯格对未来的构想是悲观的，依然是《大都会》式的。心智尾随旧器官一同退化，肉身作为存在的实在证据逐渐消弭，新器官则降解为娱乐性的材质——手术即性交（与《欲望号快车》中的「撞车即快感」同源），人类不可避免的AI化（机械化表演），“新器官”作为新贸易、新媒介，持续豢养公众（媒体即公众）的“无限呆视”，与权力集团缔结新的感官世界（对《夺命凶灵》《录像带谋杀案》的延续）。血腥表演由呆视的映射中逃逸而出，因而撕裂了“感官剥削”的桎梏。前置剧场是令人窒息的全景监狱，结局却隐含一丝甜腻的殉道意味。
罗生门式的叙事方式不错 比起某些院线的影片都好
质感不错，故事的讲述方式以及结局都挺有意思，比大部分院线电影要精彩
依旧是《大都会》和《星图》的那个柯南伯格，虚无烧尽的空洞中充斥着以血腥和乱伦为代价的，重生的甜美及温柔。而无休止的创造欲在儿童被残伤的身体内停下了脚步，显然，正如向帕丁森举起的手枪，和逃出囹圄仰望星云的姐弟，柯南伯格在终极的矛盾前说不出答案。
那么多高速镜头，是为了拖延时间吗？还有没有打斗，全是特效，看了昏昏欲睡
到最后逻辑都通了。最后的那一幕美好的情景我理解为乌托邦吧。可惜没看到美丽的狐妖，有点伤
还不错！国产的能拍到这地步，真是值得鼓励！还有就是谢锦这个角色的演员，怎么看怎么像薛之谦和王宁的结合体~~~
并不是刻意地引入新的文本与视觉概念，也没有单纯地再演绎旧的议题和影像理念，在个体对欲望与感官的探索、阴谋论调式的不同势力之间的周旋等多种维度的基础上，《未来罪行》的核心表达更像一次对身体关于“旧与新”的博弈和权衡，它联系我们的当下也展望着身体的未来，人工的改造也许不是方向，但自然的进化会指明道路。其实柯南伯格的电影总不缺乏政治、哲学与艺术的蕴含，可同时对类型趣味的兼顾却是如今这些“新电影”所不具备的，何况他对疼痛的描绘比起《钛》剥削式的宣泄，可要美妙诗意得多。
虽然受限不能有鬼，但是叙事逻辑还是可以的，多视角讲故事还是有用过心的。想看狐狸大仙！希望狐狸最后还是出来一下的。3.5分可以有。
感觉柯南伯格就像是一个始终在细察当代社会各种痈疽的医生。身体变化容纳了艺术、哲学伦理、生理等
暴力美学，body horror倒是没想象的重口。觉得消化塑料这个设定还挺有趣，也挺有寓意。但比起Titane来讲，似乎还是更喜欢后者，更加私人化一点。
创造了一个引人入胜的感官世界，那里充斥着对身体的迷恋，也毫不遮掩任何恐惧；独特的气氛，始终跟随手术、表演、性爱而流动。最近的想象可能是NT上演过的《弗兰肯斯坦》，，也在体会一种“舞台上演”的滋味。不依靠耸动效果炮制过度呈现的画面，而通过倚重演员魅力（谢谢选角Scott Speedman （：）、固定空间的展开，渐渐有了自己的节奏。但套上近未来的时间背景抑或任何议题感召，都无从察觉；或许不止有这么多。
风格很爱 kk资源越来越好了 cannes第一天看到了所有想看电影好开心
罗生门式的叙事+民俗传说的背景，整体完成得很出色～故事还可以更充实，民俗特色还可以更突出（中间打斗场面狐仙太克苏鲁了，没看前面还当是毒液3呢）鼓励加一星，真.片荒的当下，就想鼓励所有真诚的电影人> <
Body is reality. Surgery is the new sex.
I mean...what IS this?...seriously...
剧情结构居然还可以，罗生门式荒野悬疑。虽然还是网大那种半成品的粗糙味…
我看不懂，但我大受震撼。已经雷老师又脱衣服了。
升米恩斗米仇，连土匪都不愿意打劫的人家，却被自己一直救济的村民害了全家。看到后面真希望有狐仙杀光全村，可惜并没有，哎……
虽然是小成本小演员小场景，但是网剧中比较精良的了，前后也经得起逻辑推敲。然后还想扣一分给主题的诠释，方向选得很好，人性嘛，但是感觉不够深入，有点浮光掠影的感觉，村民的恶与冷漠，不够深入，不够让人恨得牙痒痒。如果时间再长点，或者这个片子的完成度会更高，总之，给7分。
