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)
论丧真的没谁比得了日本了……这电影真的太日本了。尽管后面和解，但看了后最大的感觉还是抑郁。
@SIFF 包场了😄 很讽刺 这仨人太有戏了 巨石那里笑死 Lola太会了
意料之外情理之中。片长稍微有点长，后半程一直在等结束了…好在还有些许闪光点逗你笑…Antonio Banderas不错！
不错的故事，沉痛也释怀，但是少一个情节支点就是卡车司机线，这也导致整体稍显单薄，比较可惜。
他们也太会整活了吧哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，一开始看着在《破碎的拥抱》里合作过的两位还有点跳戏，不过我真的有点想跟Penélope亲亲耶，大美女真的太会演了吧，而且这个吃藕的红发爆炸头她留得可真有魅力
看到扔奖杯那块笑了，能看出创作者们的焦虑，能决定乘一条船的主创们都差球不多，谁也别觉得比谁高级，不然容易玩不下去
的确比不过导演之前的杰出公民和蛮荒故事 但是风格还在 看起来依然带劲 用最优雅的演员和最优雅的布景去做最傻逼最真实的事 说到底戏里戏外都在演
海边的曼彻斯特是独白，这是群像，社会事件，多米诺骨牌效应，角度复杂多变。古田新太厉害👍🏻
干净 标致 格调 / 是方形那味 现代电影影像 一点也不油腻 不带态度 非常中立的镜头感 / 景别跳跃也很重要
拍得很极简，演员没得说，有些让人没完全看懂才是拉丁片
#tiff# 若你视金钱如粪土，又怎能低声下气？好一出剧作创作家，讽刺的不仅仅是现在整个行业，更是那种根深入化的盲目崇拜～
3.5星 挺有趣的 幽默和讽刺的形式都挺有想法的 相比之下这个剧本就没那么多惊喜了
现实中，无论与他人还是与自己和解，或许都比电影中要难得多，人生终要背负或大或小的诸多负担走向终点。电影做得最好一点是没有为任意两个角色提供最终的谅解，但它给每个人留下了生活下去的希望。
大家在做命题作文的时候戏剧冲突的构建没什么太大的区别 细节呈现的时候有高有低 但大家想抵达什么 去向何处 引起什么更广泛的共鸣与修缮吗 就这么使劲喊 也不见的有真诚流露出来 而且 说暴力就说暴力 说治愈就说治愈 不要说完暴力最后还治愈 FK
不知道为啥，我脑海里浮现的是陈道明和何冰。真奇怪。
可惜没有一条贯彻的情绪线，毕竟自嘲为主，像是把多个灵气十足但相对独立的片段串在一起
真正的罪犯从始至终没有认罪，反而善良的人在遭受折磨
继《杰出公民》之后越来越喜欢马丁内兹演这种小老头角色了
大帅哥也老了。科鲁兹的脸真小啊，只有她才能扛得起这夸张的发型吧。一直很平淡，结尾倒是意外
由一个事件引发人与人的恶意相向，最后随着时间的流逝，群体言论的罪恶转移方向，给当事者剩下了无尽的愧疚。一个人对一个人的愤怒，以及一个人对一个人的负罪，都是传递矛盾的途径。愤怒的终结是和解，负罪的终结是放弃，只有旁观者的嬉笑在不断地延续。而和解和放弃的结局则是美好事物出现的时刻，在最后提醒所有人个人的善良是多么珍贵。男主角一个具有强势性格的人，到最后的改变是通过一系列愧疚的冲击而获得的，显然非常有说服力。
