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)
父系人最大的问题就是神圣化性交，供精者人生无其它使命除了最不值一提的快感，生命伟大在母亲的孕育而不是供精者的一哆嗦，所以他们掌权的世界会出现这种亵渎生命的“艺术”，学外科的看这个电影时只觉得可笑并强烈希望这些人去替那些想健康活着的病人去死。
4/10。有人将此作对标《钛》，实际上这部的尺度大多了，就是不知道影片的主题想要表达什么。除了猎奇，就是裸露，所谓“人类改造”、“内在美”的探讨，有半点儿现实意义吗？如果真的存在某些明示、暗示，何必透过这样的故事与设定？
把一个个看似无关的狐仙传说串联成一个悲剧的真相。
More of a dark comedy & comment on installation / performance art than anything else
总体好于预期，演员有点拉，不错的罗生门本土化
其实，如果不是大陆审核严格，这个剧本可以更露骨一点，更真实的显示出人性的丑恶
电影在观感上做的这么无聊还不如去看篇论文，“don't spill”哈哈哈
6.5/10。①形成新器官（有些甚至因此能吃塑料）的未来人（或者也许如角色们从头到尾都在争议的那样：塑料都能吃的人还算人吗？）+以经常在剧院里实时摘除这些新器官为行为艺术的男主和他的女搭档。②摄影美术很美很有质感；有些科幻美术设计/造型确实惊悚+有想象力（比如全身都是耳朵的人）。③作为传统故事片并没构建出清晰系统的主题表达，而是只有一堆松散且过于笼统的概念与思考。
悬高转动的镜头+鱼眼推看得令人反胃，尤其是搭配了极其无聊的对话剧情之后。一定要说的话 电影的矫揉造作跟某些行为艺术确实很像了 艺术堕落为对极端刺激的消费。近年多部电影呈现出了这种趋势 是悲哀

拍的还可以，经典电影致敬了不少，就是人物没有基础很难让人共情。后面说其实没有鬼，可能是审查原因？一下子没劲了，还不如真的有狐狸精呢。
能看这片都是奔着鬼片看的，不然会大失所望。打着鬼怪的幌子我都会减一星
柯南伯格对未来的构想是悲观的，依然是《大都会》式的。心智尾随旧器官一同退化，肉身作为存在的实在证据逐渐消弭，新器官则降解为娱乐性的材质——手术即性交（与《欲望号快车》中的「撞车即快感」同源），人类不可避免的AI化（机械化表演），“新器官”作为新贸易、新媒介，持续豢养公众（媒体即公众）的“无限呆视”，与权力集团缔结新的感官世界（对《夺命凶灵》《录像带谋杀案》的延续）。血腥表演由呆视的映射中逃逸而出，因而撕裂了“感官剥削”的桎梏。前置剧场是令人窒息的全景监狱，结局却隐含一丝甜腻的殉道意味。
前面惊悚的部分还挺好 后面哪有狐仙 讲人性 一个国产片 我竟然脸盲了 太多角色 也没有交代
剧本的骨架挺不错的，但是还需要精心细致的修改。
BODY IS REALITY. LONG LIVE THE NEW ORGAN.
Lea全裸那一躺真的是最高美学 其余未见有新鲜感 Sadism orgasm也都是上个世纪的产物了KS演技又下滑 实在太难了 全片有句台词最能评价这电影 “I dont like the ears, they’re striking but thousand ears is not good design, the extra ears don’t even work. They’re just for show.” 一个词“累赘”
一开始以为是沉浸式卡夫卡，后来发现是真没看懂。。。
线索扎得不够紧 中后段就散乱了 还有精致的现代妆容之类的眼下通病 村里说「来来来 我告诉你啊 这事儿啊是这么回事儿」的片段从台词到表演都刺耳刺眼地业余 好在用作消磨时间还挺不错
罗生门的叙事结构，情节紧凑紧张，故事说的很完整，演员演技不错，比那几个流量明星好多了。
