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)
No matter love or illusion, catch what you can grasp
即便没有因为她放弃家庭
原来anais这个名字在法语里就挺有典故的啊
为了爱的人，我走进了那间电梯。
居然没标看过啊。不算很喜欢
喜欢看一些法片的原因是，总是那么自如和随性，太美丽了！
跟侯麦的风格好像哦）很爱法国电影，我每次看完一部不错的片子都好像对生活重燃热情、焕发活力，开始飞快地起身做事做手头上的工作什么的。敢于质疑、敢于争取、敢于爱那些不可能的人，叫人远观而羡之
长镜头带出的法国街景，海边美景，还有片子里明亮的色调，看了让人真是舒服。
真的是只有法国人才能拍出来的电影，轻盈、活泼、可爱。女主角Anais让我想起卡丽娜在戈达尔影片中蹦蹦跳跳的旧日时光，但又以一股鲜活的当下性，生动演绎巴黎女子图鉴。本来想给三颗星，but the sexual part gave me arousal so I decide to add one more. Guess I’m going to have mommy issue…😍
我不同意。
今年的最后一部lgbt，浪漫的情调，写信那段勾起一些难过的回忆。
阿娜伊斯：我不接受，死死拿捏着御姐。很迷人啊你，虽然有时不考虑别人的感受。太自我自由的活着了。生活主线不强烈的人，很容易让你把生活打得一团糟啊
好看，爱情会战胜理智和幽闭恐惧症，没有爱，婚姻就是癌症的培养皿
美丽的电影，美丽的手持影像。引诱者说，被引诱者征服了她，而她已经56岁了...她是否又知道，自己是电影院内散开的领口，是亲密身体上的沙砾，是粼粼波光里的笑声，是分手时错愕的眼泪，是急匆匆的心情...所以，“我不同意”，不是要说给什么听，而是此刻一定要说出来...
法国的电影为什么都这么絮絮叨叨哈哈哈哈大部分的情节和冲突都是靠对话来完成的。
于是那天晚上
Mais elle est vraiment conne cette fille
女主跑到哪都带着股自由、浪漫和野性，虽然感觉轻率了点，但还是好吸引人啊
有趣的小品，结尾女主终于和自己，和生活，和自己与他人的关系尝试着和解了。喘息声和海浪叠加在一起好好听（年上太美啦
太美好了，喜欢法国电影里对情感，欲望和生命经验的无限追寻和坦白。周六夜能在法文和小王看这个电影也很美好啦
