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)
还不错的喜剧片，梗都还不错，轻松一笑，阵容挺喜欢。
哎，想象力倒是有，就是剧情真是有些难以。。。就这么样吧，拟人化的角色都好可爱
the nature of the flower is to bloom
小故事，小环境，就四个人物，“女主或成最大赢家”。
"你真该给自己的灵魂搓个澡"
还行，花妞的彩蛋不错。想到《请叫我总监》里陆既明在电影院看电影到片尾不走等彩蛋，联动了。喜欢焦焦，虽然是女主角，但真不是主角。
挺搞笑的。王彦霖本色出演啊，最后花妞是个彩蛋。
点个赞👍
为啥去看？因为我朋友参演了，我想看看他。
还好当时去电影院没有看这部，但是现在浪费时间看完我也非常后悔
男主也太丑了，谁在投资拍这些电影，我八倍速快进都嫌弃
好難看臥槽，快哭了。被超能力設定吸引而看，被俗套爛大街的劇情勸退。
小卡司阵容在小成本小空间里完成的这部小作品竟然把悬念一直拉到结尾，实在算是聪明之作了。
林狗咋真的成狗了，还是大黄的女朋友，还巨有梗，爆笑了
同床异梦纹身贴，财色交易假面褪。
漫画变真人违和感过强。内容太浅真人的方式很突兀。
观影活动去的，为什么这个剧本也有人拍啊 结尾的林更新挺搞笑的
还有，这片子里丑男含量过高了！麦艾斯！麦艾斯！
Charlie目前的三部长片，依次靠名人爸妈、前女友和老婆的人脉组建团队；很幸运，也因为这份取得上的轻松而对总是背离的质量感到可惜。作为又一部诞生于后疫情时代，仅保留主要演员、在固定空间进行的电影它无甚新鲜；甚至在已经讨论“放开”的当下，更显得有种莫名其妙的“历史感”。底线是，每个演员都被分到了足够的任务，并顺利地执行，也就足够了（当然还有Jesse Plemons的角色可以在现时新闻下提供比照所产生的另类乐趣，也还存在一点被谈论吹水的价值）。
黄子韬唱歌真的不错噢。
