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)
原来是宇宙漂流版小美人鱼。画面非常漂亮，跑酷动感十足，可惜了这么精良的制作。感觉都是老虚偷懒的错！
整体完成度不低，藏了一些私货有想法。喜欢这个调色。
导演在某种风格之间摇摆

霸权社万岁😭😭每一帧都是一张壁纸 但是这作画 it deserve a better story.
很感人的电影，感觉最后的结尾停留在那个女主在幻境中的转身会更好。
高概念设定片，不喜欢，没有好好讲故事，全程跑酷。画面好看，音乐好听。
披着天气之子的小美人鱼参加男生女生向前冲。
这部电影的虚构幻想部分和结尾高潮剧情都值得我们思考 真的被低估了
画面和动作不错加1星。世界系少男少女恋爱故事。
你的名字對業界的影響⋯⋯不過我還挺吃這套。
说这是爆米花都侮辱爆米花了，好莱坞爆米花只是陈词滥调合家欢而已，不是故意摆烂啊。
回家吧，那个小东门
题材似乎不新，剧本也有很多多余的地方，但很期待第二部电影。
你将看到且不止看到：科学忍具，送葬者undertaker，细田守的belle，以及最感人的立体机动跑酷，wit你果然还是忘不了它，我磕到了！
牛教授说能看完整看完就是对本片最大的的尊重。我觉得说得对。男主，真的别太把自己当回事，呃呃呃……我觉得动画真的对不起小畑健的设计（这是可以说的吗
跳脱
画面不差但是密恐患者的地狱，个人很难给出高分。
女主的表演真的是“表演”，每一个反应动作都经过精心的计算和安排，毫无可信度，相反几位中年演员的表演反而更吸睛。台词处理上也有很大的问题。虽然可能是有导演的经历在？但是还是有很多地方非常地“假”。 看到现在忍不住再加一句....Amour不是那么好拍的
从PV就察觉到了角色和背景对比起来很突兀，正片已经是影响到了正常的观看了，很折磨人。
