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)
当然，前面评价的是演员，后面我想说——我很高兴在我年轻的时候认识这部电影。Thanks，IT really teaches me a lot....
别再耻于谈性，别再对自己的身体羞耻，也别再固步自封地将就了。性是美好的，身体也是，职业也是没有高低之分的。每个人都该好好的认识自己，把自己的精神和肉体全部解放。
Leo每一次叫Nancy都好好听啊。
个人觉得是个相当相当不错的谈话片。埃玛姨依旧无所畏惧！棒！
如果没有后半段这只是一个三星作品 就是一个更思辨英伦风满足我们幻想的东西 只是提供乐趣的对象变成了男人 但有了后半段 这就是一部有人文关怀 坦诚的两性关系讨论素材 介于童话和现实之间 因为我实在不相信30岁以前的男人会懂女人overthink的魅力并把她拆解并一一化解 30岁后的男人懂但overthink此时在他们这里就不那么有魅力了 这就是男性或者人类的悖论/无论如何安抚 无论如何解释 还是觉得这种纯为愉悦和幻想 转瞬即逝的关系有过于残忍的一面 但又要承认性满足过于强大 能挖掘出人自己都不了解的一面 让人做之前从未想过会做的事情/整部电影最感人的不是高潮也不是俩人对话 而是看到魔鬼身材的男主 背面全裸 屁股上的stretch mark 太抚慰人心了 对话简直是人类学培养范本 我应该考虑转行
作为这个题材的电影也太不性感了，中间浓浓的说教令人窒息。男主角的形象也过于理想化。
this is so wholesome
真好啊，直视身体，直视欲望，最后的高潮来得太妙。不被束缚的纯洁关系，比爱情有趣，是幻想也好，是假的也罢，谢谢你，温柔的Leo.
什么女性情欲，什么亲子问题，都给我放下，只为小哥哥满分，就想问几钱
3.5 想逃脱的困境与孤独 不想坚持的墨守成规 在几次会面中得以释放 互相救赎 Goodbye ，Good luck！告别的时候还是还是掉了眼泪的 ～
虽然过于理想化，过于干净和体面……但是内核，关于女性的自我探索不受年龄的限制，这一点很重要。
题材，细节，男主的脸和身材，女主的演技，小空间内的张力。
向学生坦白对方性工作者身份，承认自己买春。sex后自慰中获得高潮，站在镜子前看着自己的裸体与自己“和解”，结局披着互相救赎的温馨外衣，并不能消除她的刻板固执偏见的。
你还是需要攒一笔钱，去完成一次越级的消费，才能突破边界。
从讨论性工作合法与否开始令人不适。剧本直到结尾都有点搞笑，我想也许是因为片中角色并不是妓女。另外，果然无论东西，老师都很爱用“荡妇”一词形容学生啊。
Equal nudity好评 难以置信这是哪一年还搞那套liberal fem
Jesus loves you more than you will know
过于明晰而简单，像是一种政治口号的图解。性的交流里怎么会有那么多边界清晰、分寸拿捏恰当的对话。。
大概可以预期要表达什么。但真的话太多且低效……话痨片太看台词的文本质量了，演技氛围都不错但台词太普通了……男主真不错，有尹昉内味儿。
看前二十分钟: 不会就是单一场景吧... 最后十分钟: ok!! 最make sense和empowering的全裸镜头 以及男主也实在是太帅了
