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)
不知道我到底要成长到几岁才会逐渐走出青春片的受众范围，我好像一直都拒绝变成熟，拒绝变得不伤感和敏感，感知的触角是我作为哺乳动物最珍惜的羽毛。择校的假期，家庭内部结构的流离，友情的顾此失彼，爱情的延滞，太年轻所以太容易像风中浮动的粒子，好像什么都没做，夏天就过去了，但回忆一下的时候，又会觉得上个夏天太珍贵了。what's how we grow up
好久没看过这么不好看的电影了，如坐针毡。充满了抖机灵和不好笑的毒舌，糖水片我觉得都不算。
超出我的预期很多，虽然BLM麦克白有点骨酥，但是演技没话说，黑白图像也冲击力十足
我为了弟弟和喵喵学长点开，看到最后他们都没见面？？？？？编剧，现在不流行错过，谢谢。
三星半 人生会有特别艰难的至暗时刻 你痛哭流涕你四下无人 面对安慰的话语你只想说“when？” 你等不急想要被坚定爱着 可是最爱你的人一直都是你自己呀！ps 不需要演技 戳爷本色出演就已经很养眼和自然了
全片表演最好的还是（是不是也只有）Frances McDormand。在拍摄方面最好的几处构思都是和女巫、幽灵、“移动的树林”等有关的，灵逸逼人。打不到四星的原因是灵魂人物没撑起来。
看的生肉。整部影片就是把糖喂到观众嘴里了，剧情就很一般噢，不过有戳爷的颜值在，什么无脑的剧情都能hold住。就是他的那个女性朋友似乎有点多余，实在很难理解兼职女中学生和家庭主妇在办公室接吻偷情，当然了，大家都觉得not a big deal.
太阳星辰、睡眠死亡、天堂地狱，大量天空的描写让人与环境的对抗显得如此无力。4：3画幅，大量固定镜头，经典电影技法拍经典文学，表演和台词还是舞台剧式的。人物刻画薄弱，还好女巫的恐怖感渲染出色。极简的线条和布光，几段establishing shot很惊艳。同是科恩和黑泽明的脑残粉，还是更喜欢六十年前的蜘蛛巢城。
观看名著障碍症再次发作。。。只能当美术课了。。。
前面一直想给三星的，因为以为是佛罗里达清新疼痛爱情，哦天呐，感谢爱情just still in summer，多一颗星给grandma 和 grandpa！！
虽然片名上做了改动，但剧本其实是极为正统的莎翁剧作，所以试图从本片中解读出更多释义是困难的。影像风格可能是与之前几部麦克白电影最大的区别：荒野和室内景大量采用对称式构图；走廊上的门洞光影恰如一排剑阵；奇幻与现实无缝衔接；黑白摄影的另一个优点是弱化了肤色的差异，所以黑麦也显得不那么违和了。
养眼但cliche，冲着画面和troye可以一看。
first老婆身娇体软大眼睛睫毛精这谁能忍得住
just say yes 搞快点吧！ 番外里的弟弟和学长我不接受！！！
命运的预言把我推入万丈深渊，贪婪的欲望只有罪恶才能填满。当内心爬满毒蝎，当双手浸染鲜血，啃食殆尽的自我重生出贪欲摆布的傀儡。清除一个个威胁和障碍却始终清不尽心中的恐惧和忧虑，可怖的梦魇把我纠缠束缚。相信命运的恩赐却不相信命运的掠夺，徒劳的反抗后是注定悲剧的谢幕。罪恶的尽头终是毁灭的陨落……
挺难得的，拍出了一部不像是这个时代能拍出来的作品，光影等艺术效果绝到无话可说，黑白布景也让整部片子充满了舞台剧的风格。不义的事情需要靠无尽的恶来弥补，曾经的正人君子也会受到妖言蛊惑而再也回不了头。剧本虽然陈旧，很多台词放到现在来看也不是很能读懂，但是仍然特别有戏剧张力，权力与欲望的不均衡，是这个世界永恒的议题。弗兰西斯没有被提名为这届奥斯卡的最佳女主角有点遗憾，她把麦克白夫人塑造得太有立体感了。
科恩但这回无兄弟，极简但这回无幽默，经典但这回太规矩。
字面意义的好看，但内容和形式存在一种割裂感。"I am in this earthly world, where to do harm is often laudable, to do good sometime accounted dangerous folly."
不知奥胖看完作何感想，《奥赛罗》+《黑豹》
十分精致的实景舞台剧，对白，走位，布景都是舞台剧风格，只有更精美的构图属于导演，但是对于½的科恩，这点也完全不够啊
