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)
喜欢《鬼魅浮生》的我第一时间买了这部，结果只好承认看得比较懵，经过长评的辅助才知道原来是亚瑟王后续故事，还是我们托尔金老师一手推广的，不过视听语言和导演前作一样很特别很有味道，稍显悚然的气氛营造赞，从一年后上路开始，骑士和一只不离不弃的漂亮小狐狸的试炼旅程逐步变得有趣起来，帮助幽灵找回失落的头颅，踏入巨人的领地，去抵达一个离奇的绿色承诺，坎妹太美了，我一度以为小狐狸就是坎妹变的；另外片中像听莎翁剧般的古英语台词格外文雅 #SFM341
这种设定无论是小时候的我还是现在我都很喜欢 甚至还在结尾泪如雨下 谁懂啊 狗狗教yyds！
其中加入的歌谣和韵味都与原著优美的长诗体遥相呼应
绝美的画面和天籁之音给怪诞诡谲、不知所云的故事增色不少

看来古典爱好者和冒险爱好者的目标群体重叠不多，分这么低。
塔维雅尼兄弟热爱意大利，拍了一辈子皮兰德娄。如今一个先走了，另一个也要告别了，对哥哥，也是对意大利，更是对电影。彩色部分多少有些莫名其妙，狗尾续貂，黑白部分独立成章更佳。

是我的菜，以前只看过关于绿衣骑士传说和《麦克白》对比的论文，这片好多很莎剧的场景
原以为是商业片，但是没想到遭遇了这种中世纪舒缓叙事（坑爹的预告骗#%）
3.5。在濃重的悼亡情緒之下，電影其實早已形神皆散，徒留下前後照應的戲劇結構和厚重手法續著最後一絲精氣神。
经过上半部的折磨，下半部果断调成倍速，居然还是觉得节奏慢，典型的装x片
3星 男主一张印度脸，真出戏，电影里的几首歌曲可以
开场事件不错，结果那一年居然直接就用字幕卡略去了，叙事大硬伤…… 主角在凡间的那一年时光对解释人物动机可以起到很大作用，至少应占据半小时篇幅，尤其结合结尾想表达的主题来看更是如此。
大型古裝奇幻山路電影，光影拍的真的很漂亮很有特點，但故事有什麼寓意麼？沒看出來…
7/10. 只想要爽片和动作大场面的观众还是洗洗睡吧。本片灰暗，缓慢，带着六百年前原著的道貌与荒诞。导演通过非常艺术化的影像语言，用高文爵士的荒野奇幻冒险为外衣，表现的却是其自省与求索的精神内核。

好俗烂的剧情，美国流水线式电影果然有一套公式。唯一喜欢的就是狗狗cg做的好可爱呀！
抛开鬼怪的配乐与华美的镜头，这就是一个懦弱之人最终成为骑士，取得自己荣誉的故事。
