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)
剧情反转很硬，那个海边的监控也太假了。背影一看就不是那个警察。然后后面很硬的结尾。
我发现个规律：99%的美国电影，villain一定是英国人（或英澳口音）🌝
赶脚有点类似CCTV6低成本自制剧，不过剧情倒还是紧凑的，就是女主也太素颜了吧。
看完才知道是Queen B，除了震惊没什么感想了
无限放低预期之后竟然还觉得也看得过去……以及还是有点想去克罗地亚啊虽然欧洲古城都大同小异
两颗星是表达对Queen B的喜爱之情，跟电影毫无关系！
和国内版破局不相上下，差韩国版走到尽头一个段位
It's always the husband 🦭
2022.4.**闺蜜和老公出轨，闺蜜被老公杀了
「寂寞的時候會想要寫一首歌給你，想你現在會不會也有一點孤寂。」
我以为在交警查车那儿就要凉了，男主犯那么多事最后居然安然无恙也是奇葩
最大的败笔就是女警怎么会把监控里的人看错的，一会男警一会女主老公的，本来剧情还能圆回来加这一段直接圆不回来了
很显然，主要的情节似乎是翻拍自韩国的哪部电影。
死后被人解锁手机绝对是世界恐怖故事top1
还可以，2星肯定冤枉他了。台湾导演一般都非常杂乱，拍得很长，但这个导演一个半小时，把控还是可以的。
跟着女主视角推进，还是丝丝入扣，情节简洁、节奏还算不错，有几层反转。总体处理得当，是个很解压的轻悬疑电影
一直覺得有一類女人 自以為見過世面風浪 就對生活當中的絲絲溫暖視而不見 最後無奈眼界越來越高 要不就是找個有硬實力的答應對方所有奇怪要求 要不就看不上身邊很多人覺得他們配不上自己 但又無時無刻都在接受別人對她的好
开画廊，满足人的精神追求；拉皮条，满足人的身体需求。服务的人的阶层不同，但回归到作为人的基础，也都在“得意”与“失意”之间不断切换。一时一刻，不必追究～
对其他人物刻画过猛导致第二十分钟就猜出谁是真凶。
没有贯彻去拍情绪。拆迁线和后两场激情戏都可以删掉，温温的尺度戏给我留下！女主叫小姐陪唱有点可爱。
