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)
如果是90年代的丹泽尔华盛顿来演可能会是一部经典
希腊逃亡？一个卖软件的居然身手跟特工一样。
女主颜值够。有的镜头的局促感直接让人看出了搭景拍摄的端倪，镜头视野纵深不够减弱了紧张感，情节上还可以做的更紧张。
脱骨于cmbyn却又完全不同的诗意和色彩。他只是一个咒语，或者是诅咒，却是任何人的，穿梭在梦境里成为情人，偶尔是一抹脖子上的钴蓝，然后化作云烟，成为压抑欲望的夏季最后一场大雨，消失不见。
纯扯几把得儿！
为啥评分这么低啊，这简直是印度版的call me by your name和傲慢与偏见种最小女儿和女主的剧情！色彩，构图，节奏都不错啊，bgm也很版，喜欢！
如何把一句话能讲清楚的故事水成一个半小时的惊悚片？
个人评分6分（主观影评、不喜勿喷）
cmbyn式夏日热恋，印度文艺风情，还可以
场景设置还不错但是利用不够充分，BOSS又反社会又降智
印度真的有小清新，男主是流氓兔眼睛，看久了有点萌～两星半
一个搞IT的身体素质这么好, 爬山跳崖跳车打架，太NB了
渣男是真够渣的，但是，爱让人更勇敢了，不是吗？
cmbyn式夏日热恋，印度文艺风情，还可以
仗着free solo，
2022目前为止看过最好的新电影。很喜欢这类野外求生题材，这次的考验不仅仅是大自然，还有穷凶极恶的人类。全片的mvp该给那条金环蛇，憋了大半时间不开大招，关键时刻给女主神一样的助攻。
btw番茄电影真nb 未上映的都能看
主角光环严重护体 那么陡峭的地方真的可以和大男人搏斗吗
希腊公共场所的涂鸦真是非常多，跟我在谷歌街景里看到的比较一致
虽是情感片，但并没有局限于主角双方的互动环节，反而更倾向于突出一段情感对于个体的得失与贡献，让观者不仅旁观了一场他人的爱恋，更是给了自己思考的空间，挺好。
