回复 :由布莱恩·德·帕尔马(Brian De Palma)指导, 保罗·施拉德(Paul Schrader)编剧的《迷情记》(Obsession / 1976)是一部文艺气息相当浓厚的悬疑片。帕尔马导演一反常态,并没有在影片中过分卖弄血腥暴力,而是以细腻的手法把一个奇异的故事拍得如梦如幻,韵味十足。本片的摄影保持了帕尔马导演一如既往的高水准。而本片的配乐则是由著名大师伯纳德·赫尔曼(Bernard Herrmann)创作而成,他的音符亦是为影片迷离而神秘的气质加分不少。包括导演及编剧在内的主创们都坦率承认,《迷情记》是受到了传奇导演阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克(Alfred Hitchcock)的《迷魂记》(Vertigo / 1958)的影响而摄制上映的影片,是一部带有致敬色彩的门徒式电影。
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.
