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)
最后居酒屋里的表演，高跟鞋，出租车，葬礼。是真的被感动到了。
影帝不愧是影帝。演什么是什么。一些小小的细节动作，也拿捏的很到位啊～
真挚的师徒情 如果让北野武来演北野武（老年）应该更有趣
最后居酒屋里的表演，高跟鞋，出租车，葬礼。是真的被感动到了。
三星半吧，北野武的笑话从来都不好笑，但是总能让人感动
第3494-加一星给两位主演。演北野武难度挺大，尤其柳乐优弥外形颜值上与北野武差距这么大，痕迹肯定有，能不突兀已经很不错了。以前没看过大泉洋的戏，能与柳乐优弥平分秋色不容易。
挺标准的好片，我们小柳真是有他的性感啊。大泉洋也很好，铃木保奈美姐姐真是太好看了
北野武的人生真是神奇，喜欢他的毒舌，喜欢他直抒胸臆，读过小酒馆，喜欢这位独特的老头儿，今年想再多读读他的书，有意思有个性，网飞干了大事儿，把这拍成电影！师父爱才惜才，阿武才能成就自己，阿武重情重意，飞黄腾达也不忘师父的教诲，回到浅草，陪着师父吃酒说笑。退学、短剧、漫才，到后面的成为导演和演员，阿武一直记得师父的那句话，我大爱真实的北野武！
影帝先天条件注定难以还原北野大爷接地气的人格魅力，某些段落不排除为了抓马效果作了美化。但就凭对舞台喜剧还保留基本的尊重，以及与循序渐进的追梦过程相映衬的深入细节的现实刻画，这片子就值得一看
整个叙事非常质朴简单，看不到半点卖弄，却温情的让我内心融化，笑着将悲情的才是最动人。整部片子看下来就两个字，舒服。
3.5/5 完全没发现老年北野武是影帝演的诶！
相比他波澜壮阔的后期几十年，电影所聚焦的是其相对平淡的离家到说漫才小有名气的四年时间，重点表现的是与师傅的深厚情感。
柳乐优弥最像的部分，不是抽搐的眼睛和不安分的肩膀，而是眼睛里的光。剧团桑太想让故事严丝合缝了，看出了那种串起来的生硬。老年北野武不是本人出演挺可惜的，毕竟大家都知道他长什么样，演员的妆再像也像个假人。
莫名的情绪感染，浅草那首歌只要一出现就想哭…哈哈。柳乐优弥依然不错，北野武老年仿妆很努力了但太出戏了，真希望做两分钟脸盲。
好厉害，柳乐优弥演得太自然了，长得一点都不像北野武却又让人心服口服。
了解北野武，这部片强烈推荐；除此外，它是一部结构相当工整的传记作品。
想起郭德纲说他刚起步说相声的时候，台下几乎没有人，有的观众要去厕所，就要等观众回来，好心酸。
大泉洋和影帝的对手戏好看，伴着北野武的那首歌看最后一段泪流满面。
北野武把成就都归功于师父，更像是愧疚，他学习到的精神训诫在师父从生活日常中传授的点滴，不仅在于尊严也在如何独立成熟的面对艺术与人情。逗笑人与被人笑在于自己。幽默需要智慧眼见，聪明与尖锐并存，段子引人深思，话语精辟。师父成与败都是尊严，师母与浅草女性悲情讽刺但让人敬重，可见时代的蜷缩媒介变化对人的影响。看到属于一个人教育的传承，是最基本的影响人一生的最核心的东西，虽然实现自我除了师承之外还有关于选择各种因素，传记描述是充满感激和情义，片子没有用另一语境中的艺术新意来描绘艺术人生，而是把北野武作为他自己合理的一面放大，呈现规矩工整的带着励志和成长史意味的平铺直叙，讲述伴随自己的努力和从师长身上学到的本领，成为可以称作有大师风范的艺术者的成就的片段。这当然不会是北野武的一生，但却是浅草小子的一生。
北野武算是我很喜欢的日本导演，要是让本尊来演老年北野武就好了
