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)
完全的审美疲劳，没有感觉到任何新意。这个故事基本到头了。
没有内容可以不用拍，强加的见父母潦草的几乎是扮家家酒。黑泽优一的颜崩塌如泥石流。前三十分钟ppt旋进一般的剧情让我如坐针毡想问电影院能不能提供2x速服务。
比上一部好看。濑户康史演得不错。赤星都变成达子的小猫了。star和杰西还活在台词里。
整体也算用心，引入了多角度分别叙述，按照日期索引，节奏拿捏得不错。流畅轻松，虽然带着警觉去看，但心里也知道以这片子的套路，可能出现的每一个人都是猫，牺牲合理性，不惜代价只为反转。当作欢乐片挺好，顺便为马耳他移民打了广告。赤星年轻时候真是喜欢的样子。
被骗了啊！看上部预告，以为是古装来的。系列快到头喽，一点儿也不高级的多线剪辑，欺诈师如果不能让人感觉欺诈高明，还拍个啥。全程看长泽雅美和东出昌大的美颜。
前半部分还觉得有点意思，最后就有点套路啦！ 小少爷也太惨了
本系列故事无论中途是何走向，都始于游戏，终于欢乐反转。
单纯快乐两小时！熊猫出现的时候我笑裂了hhh Anarchy也超好听，jp和胡子男永远捆绑下去！
希望来年能在电影节看到，22年siff无了9……
感觉就是拍给粉丝看的圈钱片 糖都发了也很甜 剧情上真的觉得有些可惜吧 不能称之为电影
比起在意別人的眼光，活在懦弱與自卑裡。
因为是剧粉所以很期待，在海外上映第一天就去看了，没想到整部电影都很平淡，剧情老套节奏又缓慢，中途一度看到差点睡着，也没啥福利，接吻甚至还是借位，挺失望的就是说…
Star和Jesse依然在继续大显身手的世界线里🙏
①黑泽无数次自我感动式的将自己的想法隐藏，然后做出一副深情又痛苦的表情，让人无语之余只剩下了审美疲劳…
之前看的时候觉得就一般，最近刷多了腐剧发现攻受颜值➕剧情在日腐里已经算是很不错的了
？？？？三浦春马和竹内结子到底演的谁啊
……这，可能霓虹的思维模式我真的get不到吧。
比公主篇好很多，jess和star的彩蛋令人感动
3主角团开了天眼和金手指，怎么扯都能圆得过来。当然，总体还是比大部分同题材电影强的，只是没有原来那么惊艳了。
感谢所有人给观众一个happy ending 属于成年人的童话结束了
