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)
铺垫实在太漫长，剪得又乱配角又多，到最后串起来的时候我都已经对谜底没有兴趣了🚬
烂片体验卡+1
最后一抹淡淡的释怀而已。。。ps，女神也老了啊。。。
電影前半段是救人，後半段是渡己。
很喜欢，全程不用动脑，就静静感受那场风雪，感受山，感受疲倦劳累和不懈坚持，感受伤痛和治愈。
我的天啊。。。。前面一个多小时，我强迫自己断断续续看了3次才熬过去，后面自从小说家去了高什么寺那里就开始好看了，前面一大堆废话。。。。。仓田大佬一出场故事瞬间就开始有味道了。。。。前面真心太无聊了。莫非是为了凑时长？其实完全可以拍的再紧凑一点啊。。。。。
两星半，剧情平淡冗长，佩服自己居然看完了。
like a super dark storm
门槛粉丝向，但是这个剧本明显放在电影的体裁水土不服呀，还不如直接发展成剧集，反而是最后两头不讨好，华纳的魔爪真的毁经典从来不心痛
这个电影里有正常人？？？？？？？？？？？？？
劇情圍繞藤原飾演的小說家津田,創作的“小說“內發生的假鈔案與失蹤案展開,劇情節奏偏慢,有點讓觀眾找不到主軸,劇中有些配角的存在實在是意味不明,讓人感覺是來湊片長的,多條虛實交錯的故事線串在一起讓觀眾逐漸接近真相,最後結尾處的一氣呵成倒是挺過癮的。
还可以的！男主嘲笑秃顶哥们摔一跤，招致杀身之祸
救人就是救己，户外远行徒步爱好者必看的影片。故事讲的很简单，大概就是“老太太本来不过马路，我为了做好人好事，愣给老太太搀过去了”。人物也很少，大女主加个男配角。大女主是个海边曼彻斯特的人设，做了个好人好事，但是阴差阳错结果。我每年都去白山区域的华盛顿山附近，跟电影里的地貌有些不同，本片是波兰影视公司投拍，估计是在阿尔卑斯山脉取景的吧。
就记住了个 motherfucker 感觉蛮搞笑的。
为了情怀，为了Gandolfini, 为了David Chase，敬青春。
前方的叙事确实有些拖沓，但是并没有很难理解，最后串起来的时候也很舒适。
所以说艺术不仅来源于生活，更要高于生活。能看出导演其实已经很努力地在为故事增加戏剧性了，但是整个片子看下来观感体验还是十分的沉闷和无聊。
近期看过的最好看的电影之一，不明白给两星的人用意何在。
两颗星都给娜奥米的卖力演出。
