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)
开局像圣母没有好下场的走向，原来是家庭，教育的隐喻。。。
有一点点像黑天鹅，toxic的母女关系，完美主义控制狂母亲，女孩的青春期性启蒙性压抑……
构图、美术很干净，透露出一种简洁的美感。
挺ok的~坐旁边的小朋友们看得又开心又揪心，还有不时听到妈妈们说：宝贝，成绩好不好没关系，你怎么样爸爸妈妈都爱你~靠谱成年人看更有收获，顺便还能收获一堆美好~作者彩蛋好玩。p.s.皮皮鲁一哭阿拉心都碎了，多可爱的娃啊QAQ
#窒息家庭芬兰edition 但还是想说芬兰语有时候太像泰语了
我哭得好厉害啊，还有魔方大厦和郑渊洁梦幻联动hhhhh 作为一个电影，质感是真的很糙。任性打四星。
剧情比较空，但结局留了足够的空间让人浮想联翩。
看罐头小人的时候我多大？大概是初一初二吧01年的事情了。一晃二十年了。我已经什么都不记得了。
作弊、逃生等不少方面太误导小朋友；特效不行，还不如直接拍一个动画片；改编不是乱编；为什么现代国语片总是如此尴尬？
说教味太浓，不够自然，自由成长还是跳脱不了时代局限
北欧国家总是能把一个还不错的恐怖题材拍的又拖又无聊
黑暗怪异的现代童话。就像，杜鹃鸟会把蛋下在其他鸟的鸟巢中，孵化出的后代将杀死并替代原生的雏鸟。
还行吧，青春期女孩的反叛，比较直白，观感一般，这妈挺吓人
小演员的演技非常厉害。如果家庭教育观是畸形的，你还能指望下一辈有多正常？表面精英教育，光鲜亮丽；实则内卷鸡娃，情理打压。看来这种教育现状不只是中国的问题，也是世界的通病？!
最近很出圈的一部芬兰body horror，北欧中产家庭的mother issue，结尾很猛。
孵化另一个自己，取代原来的自己，这算不算重生？
其实还是再说青春期叛逆和家庭教育给孩子带来的影响。
比怪物更扭曲的是畸形的家庭关系，本质还是讲家庭，只是形式比较猎奇。另外不太喜欢小演员的演技
把现实的教育制度抨击的恰到好处，罐头小人充满了惊喜，感觉约翰真的是太可爱了。这部片子不仅仅让我们眼前一亮，更是让我们收获很多感动！如此看来，我国的童话故事可以在世界上有一席之地了👍🏻
6/10分奇幻恐怖片,我就奇了怪了,电影已经都一心一意,真心实意,专心致志在讲母女关系了,为什么有些人非要让导演神展开讲讲那对长得跟双胞胎一样的父子线?怎么哪里都有男人的事儿?你男人能孵化还是咋的?
