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.
驹子喜欢岛村，啊原来有喜欢行男，啊原来有喜欢叶子
整个电影很好地传达了日式文学的那股拧巴劲儿，不过对驹子的刻画比叶子更用力，叶子完全成了配角。奈绪这次的扮相很有宫崎葵的气质，喜欢。
火是最干净的东西。三味线在早上的音色不一样。世间事桩桩件件皆是徒劳。凡是带有诚挚爱情的行动，迟早都会鞭挞人。开篇真惊艳，越来越走调。一生君固然文青气质，可惜演得太端，一味冷着脸，与角色格格不入，好像找不到一个着力点去抓住人物，奈绪又过了点火候。我猜导演选一生君，纯粹是倚重他的念白功力。
湖边黑影究竟是人是鬼？
电影的末尾部分对故事线做了梳理，我不确定是不是大众认可的解析，但是让我看起来有种恍然大悟的感觉.--驹子深爱着行男，对此不惜卖身为他治病；叶子也深爱着行男，但同时洁身自好；叶子理解并尊重驹子。驹子爱不爱岛村呢
复古风格好评，虐杀桥段干脆利索，剪辑花了心思，血浆喷出一点点变红的镜头也很巧妙。关爱老年人性生活，也请关爱没有性生活却每天fucked by government的年轻人。。
所以女主是喜欢行男吗？日本人的思路还是没跟上
太吃川端康成的原作了，剧情主轴近乎完全依赖于旁白推进，极大程度削弱了演员及镜头带来的感染力。
很简单的故事，从女人嘴里讲出来总是这么复杂，话有留白，为什么故事不也用留白呢？男主角更像是个工具人，卷卷头发也很出戏。
搞不懂驹子和叶子的关系，也无法理解剧中人物的行为和反应，驹子经常咬牙切齿的歇斯底里的
睡觉被老太又摸又亲成这样妹子都没醒 中年如我真是嫉妒年轻人的睡眠质量
品尝女人情欲苦难的男性文本什么时候可以停止。原著没有看过，但这个电影让我觉得很不愉快，多少要反思下吧，这些陈旧的创作。
就是很想看结尾的“银河”是如何体现的，看到最后发现导演用了另一种手法。故事清晰了，但是还是好希望是：［那银河“哗啦”一声，向他的心坎上倾泻下来］。即便这一切皆是徒劳。
5.分。奈绪是美的，雪国也是美的，但剧情不美，益生菌也不美。
这电影很日本，表示看不懂。。。
一口气看了1965年版本和今年新版的两部。65年古典完整细腻扎实，在22版里看着不明所以的驹子的几场戏在65版都给出了答案。65版将三个人物都塑造得很立体和清楚，而22版则把男主和洋子全都弱化了。驹子这种疯癫演法和后期与岛村先生的诡异交流其实很不贴现实，（这哪是艺伎和客人关系？）但是更加肆意放飞和先锋，更具有诡异的气氛。
川端康成在日本彻底转向军国主义时写了雪国，低气压下的所谓知识分子害怕面对真实的现实，他们的恐惧是认定生命本身是徒劳，而且越是怒放的生命就越徒劳，任由一切以自然的形态去发展毁灭，这种吃饱了撑的人物让高桥一生来演实在是违和，不够冷漠无耻
整个电影很好地传达了日式文学的那股拧巴劲儿，不过对驹子的刻画比叶子更用力，叶子完全成了配角。奈绪这次的扮相很有宫崎葵的气质，喜欢。
岛村会不会喜欢上叶子，岛村喜欢上了驹子，啊岛村会不会喜欢上叶子，岛村没有喜欢叶子
不知怎么，可能大家都觉得拖沓叙事混乱。但我这两年的心境，偏偏爱上这种娓娓道来，不紧不慢的风格，不得不说日韩在细节方面的拍摄真的很能够触动人心，可能小众，可能平缓，没有非常大的矛盾冲突，但就是这些，一点点渗入血液。
