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)
就是因为7+分才去看的，结果演的啥，感谢浪费了我2个小时
都说好的喜剧剥开了是悲剧，那历史片何尝不是满屏情欲，好的恐怖片何尝不是恶之花烂漫洋溢着文艺
她和真爱结合的时候 房间里的暖色调 想到教父里的那段
“你不是第一个想融入人类社会的女巫，你知道那些女巫的结局都是怎样的吗？等着被村民撕成碎片吧。”
整个故事的节奏很好，安排得当，而且当下推出很有现实意义，80年代的背景并不是一定要强调还原故事，而是将历史背景与现实结合，仅仅是借助历史背景罢了。男主越看越帅，小胡子太好看了；男二一开始看很可爱，但某一瞬间的光影让我觉得像tom holland，那一瞬间真是让我有点反胃……总体是部很棒的片子，
It flows and flows, and still it stays in the same spot."
总的来说算是很不错的影片，但后期剧情的节奏个人觉得有一点过快，如果能够再拍长一点就好了
意识流恐怖寓言，不断地以新生视角获取感知。一股忧伤气息，一部后摇电影，一则抒情散文，导演绝对是马力克死忠粉。★★★☆/7.6
"我会找到你的"甭管能否找到，简直是最浪漫的结局。但感觉有点天真，特别是老妈那句"至少你做回了自己"。那个年代，谁能有这样的觉悟?
我犯下弥天大罪，只为能让你活下去。
镜头语言，文本意识，概念架构，都是合格的。
她是女巫，也可以是万物。成为女人，成为男人，成为儿童。学习生活，学习流泪，学习爱与被爱。一首血与诅咒的生命之诗。
我想
这么多年过去，就像我们依然在讨论朱迪福斯特说的，最好的男演员身上的脆弱感到底是什么。那种脆弱感就像女巫每次变换成不同人类时，眼睛里流露出的迷茫和怜悯，关于这个身份，这个我到底是天生的，还是被塑造的，被驯服的？你，我，他，女人，男人，我们，你们，到底什么是相同的，什么是不同的？
年度最佳预定。小女巫一路诗化呢喃，马力克式镜头语言和配乐结合得恰到好处，温柔又残酷。主角的不语和残暴直给的故事设定不由想到金基德。西方版《画皮》进阶版，不仅幻化人形，男女老少、猪狗狼鹰，“我”变成世间万物，维度广度探索的更大了。这部电影最难能可贵的，是虽以父（男）权、女性主义为主引，但已然超越，甚至超越了爱，而归于对被怆害的命运的态度。老女巫被小女巫杀死前流着泪的一问：“为什么你可以轻易做到？”万物自有其含义，这世界令人刺痛、让人恶心，然而“我”曾在草地上尽情玩耍，与“同类”嬉笑欢闹，沐浴阳光下，同河流、同不同的河流、同内心的河流流淌在一起，“我”不愿让它再干涸。为什么“我”就可以做到？“然而…然而…”也许是因为虽随命运指引，还是“选择”去化身万物，更因为“幸运”，终成为自己，而非其他万物。
诗意的暗黑童话，老巫婆气死人！导演好会拍男人
多少人因为害怕被荼毒，而选择深柜结婚生子，就有多少家庭悲剧。
最后枪战部分有点尴尬，撇开感情戏就是普通悬疑片，当然两个男主脸不错我喜欢。。。
讲的是一个直男警察为了办案把自己掰弯的过程，结局不太好。
挺好的片子啊，有同性题材的罪案片，如果只想看谈情说爱那可以绕道了，故事悬疑感还不错。
