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)
之夏
7。#72ndBerlinale「音乐性」夏洛特·甘斯布依旧魅力十足！
说实话，这部电影的音乐实在很加分，城市的空虚，落寞与相互依靠拯救的温暖
连看了三部米夏埃尔的作品，皆是一流的摄影和色彩，音乐品味也很不错，总能把一些漫不经心的日常小事，拍出轻盈浪漫的文艺感，在慢悠悠的节奏里，注入深沉浓烈的情绪，慰藉而治愈，脱离了此类片子极容易陷入的无病呻吟的小资趣味，美的精致而充实。非常喜欢。
足够美妙，但似乎缺乏得以延续的情感，仿佛自开场便奔向美丽。
今年柏林节参赛的片子，家庭关系写得细腻、生活，角度也有特点。可看。
她必须重新找到谋生的工作，而且要两份工，她父亲安抚她，“你这么脆弱、敏感，又容易流眼泪，肯定可以找到适合的工作”。你很快会明白，这部电影会善待所有脆弱的灵魂。她坚强独立亦无奈接受了父亲的帮助，亦渴望新的伴侣。塞纳河畔的夜色里，没有“鸡血”也没有“鸡汤”，只有美丽的她。
看到很多自己，骑电动车溜gai子的自己，还没毕业就搬离家的自己，经历很多感情的自己，不知道做什么才能入睡和感觉好点的自己，还有开始衰老的自己。
好看好看好看。
另一种“漫游式”电影，就像站在一列户外地铁列车内看向窗外，城市以随机却有序的侧面从眼前滑过。巴黎可能就像欧洲的纽约，每个人都是旅人，每当停顿，就以结伴的方式在城市内进行“旅行”。

没故事没情绪没风格，只可以看绝美的甘斯布和80年代的巴黎。
虽然这和我想象的生活不一样，但我还是尽力去热爱。80年代的巴黎好迷人，是我向往的地方。
整体感觉好像一部80年代的德国电影……完成度不错但又似乎缺乏点“新意”。导演让剧中的小青年们看侯麦听Television，法国人民的品味就是这么厉害的嘛~
如此温柔的回望，即使是在生命的漩涡之中。坐夜班地铁回家的路上经过了塞纳河，河面也有点点星光，想到三年前好像也是因为某个类似的瞬间决定要来巴黎读书，而三年过去，能够在这里，在这部的片尾曲里告别二十二岁实在是再幸福不过的事情了。Thanks for all the little moments and small fragments of our lives, and for life itself.
认真生活的一家人慢慢走上正轨
中年母亲，旅人少女，懵懂少年… 在巴黎夜晚他们路过彼此的世界而已！！！
想不到2022年的电影还可以有这么传统又温馨的剧情（整个片子都没有什么大情节，但好喜欢这个80s的流水账）。看完循环Joe Dassin。
Talulah去楼下洗澡前，女主儿子和朋友拿望远镜偷窥女性，这段戏是Talulah融入这个家庭的关键一笔。女主收留Talulah是善良，女主儿子收留Talulah源自于青春期的荷尔蒙。
