Michael Hanake meets the Blair Witch Project in Kim Gok's Exhausted, a vicious kick in the pants to everyone in the audience, all in the name of "style." A man meets a mute woman, and as any reasonable person would do in such a situation, makes her his prostitute. But the pimping is the least of our problems. As we get exhausted by the grainy faux-16mm camerawork, the film gets increasingly deranged. The closest thing we get to a sympathetic character is the pimp, simply because he's got too much self-respect to fuck a mute whore. Everyone else is either a gory mess, or a gory mess in disguise. Even the prostitute, which even a thug like Lars von Trier would make likeable, comes off as a delirious scary woman whose shrieks strike like blows to the jugular.
Kim Gok has seemingly abandoned the Marxist critiques of his short films, going instead for mindless brutality which culminates in an endless bloody freak-show involving, among other things, a pair of scissors going where pairs of scissors should not go. In the middle of the bloodbath, we get an extended long take of the beaten prostitute's near-dead face, but it does not elicit sympathy or pity. In fact, images of the victim only make us shy away in shock. (Indeed, the extended sequence led to continuous walk-outs during the Pusan screening.) The long take invites us to stare, but it assumes we're as sadistic as the victimizer (and the film) is. Meanwhile the sound-effects (mostly a rumbling bassline that shakes the theater) pulsates with pure wickedness. With Hanake, shock creates reflection, which asks that we be critical. Here, we only want to escape. I suppose Exhausted has some virtues; the shots of drilling machines and factories provide a mesmerizing phallic backdrop to the pimp and prostitute's pursuits. But everything else hurts too much. At least Kim Ki-duk lets us breathe. Exhausted makes Bad Guy look like Lady and the Tramp. (asiaarts.ucla.edu)
还不错、女主演技也很自然、只是有点虎头蛇尾了…
这sb男只能当炮友，这么神经质的男的怎么处对象？
说好的文艺小黄片你天天给我特写bobo的镜头几个意思？？
这部剧的男女主角比较像个正常人而不是doi工具了，最后短短一天毁了男女主本来幸福的生活真的不理解他妈和女主老板脑子里在想什么😓😓😓😓，男主还没毕业下一部要怎么回去面对他爸啊，我不理解真的
？？？就这破电影还有第四部？TBC啥呢？不用给我制造悬念了好吧，请问剧情还要怎么开展？用脚编吗？
不明白男主怎么动不动就发脾气闹别扭 就算要水泥封心也不要这样疑神疑鬼的 赶紧出4结局算了 这个剧情再有第五都看不下去了
当皮特客串的角色死了，这部电影也跟着死了。
✨
标准6分冒险片，桑婆+钱老板+丹尼尔的惊喜组合，外加皮特客串，让整部原本俗套的情节变得趣味十足。
狗血到难以想象 很难想象竟然还能拍到第四部
This is literally a definition of toxic relationship. Sorry for Harry styles
15/6/2022 @ Festival Grand。ok呀膠膠地睇得幾開心呀~Brad Pitt一出真係笑到肚痛
網路霸凌題材最近很多，這部加入很多印尼在地原素。可惜節奏慢了些。
不要为了男人抛弃事业！！
Hardin明明一脸渣男相，在亲密关系里反而是爱得更加无法自拔的那一个，真是没有说服力。Tess的每件衣服我都想给她烧掉，完美暴露身材缺点，有些镜头里显得比男主还要壮实……after拍到三感觉俩人的家庭怎么越来越破碎的，我想要的双向救赎的老梗在哪里？！不知道下一部剧情怎么走了……
最后几分钟笑死人了……我以为我在看二十年前的狗血韩剧哈哈哈哈哈哈。男主还是第一部最好看，第三部已经略油，女主也是看起来逐渐发福显老。
完全是冲着男女主颜值看下去的，剧情就是土狗剧情，喜欢看他俩的船戏，虽然不够辣，但是我是土狗我还在等4
虽然剧情有点浅，但是，剧情中流露出的被害人过错的扩大化、个人隐私权利的脆弱、正义由富人操纵等问题都值得深思。女主为了维护尊严，算是实现了真正的正义。
Sandra bullock太适合演这种东西了。这小岛怎么和神秘海域的好像，不会是同一个地方取景的吧。
印尼女性维权题材，挺佩服这样的坚强执着的女生
