回复 :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.
回复 :《掬水月在手》记录了中国古典诗词大师叶嘉莹(1924-)传奇的人生。她一生历经战乱、政治迫害、海外飘零,晚年回归改革开放的中国,持续创作、传承教学,重系文革中断的古典诗词命脉。影片交织了叶嘉莹个人生命和千年中国古典诗词,表现她在诗词长河中寻求存在的意义轨迹。《杜甫〈秋兴〉八首集说》为叶嘉莹最重要的研究代表作,〈秋兴〉八首描绘中国盛唐兴衰,本片借此隐喻叶先生经历的动荡岁月,并邀请音乐家佐藤聪明以〈秋兴〉八首为本,结合雅乐及现代乐,创作电影音乐,为杜甫诗歌带来新的生命。
