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)
反流行，没有政治正确，可惜后半程无力且结尾仓促。
男主的表演具备异常强大的统摄力，精神世界的紊乱状态作为电影里的常见题库，被重新书写得有所惊喜。
怎么会有这样的片子，没见过还美化连续杀人魔
7分，食草动物被食肉动物吃掉挺符合自然规律的哈
哈哈，同样的吃人题材，角度要比《新鲜》的老套路好玩多了。
太多的惊悚片都是从被追逐的一方视角来讲述的，这部片子关注杀手的故事视角很新。也不是谁生来就是变态杀手，事情就是那么一点一点的从普通偏离正常轨道的。
哈哈哈哈哈哈中间动物世界平行时空那段好有意思，眼前一大亮，太好玩了哈哈哈哈哈哈，最后结束以生命大和谐方式结束。太逗了。给这个片段必须多打一星。
国外喜吃人肉的题材影片层出不穷，如今年发行的影片《新鲜》、《沉默的羔羊/汉尼拔》系列、《逃出食人农场(2017)》、《生吃Grave(2016)》、《绿色屠夫(2003)》、《食人恋(2013)》。本片大致剧情是，夫妻开肉铺经常被素食者攻击，生意惨淡！一天由于气愤开车撞死了一素食者，分尸后，苏菲却把尸块丢尽绞肉机做成了香肠售卖，意外发现顾客非常喜欢，生意由此火爆！为此，夫妇开始猎杀素食者，人肉黑店生意异常火爆！等素食者猎杀殆尽时，最后几个素食者寻事上门并绑架苏菲，文森特回家奋力杀了素食者
题材新奇，但没有预想的有趣，不过整体基调还是挺诙谐幽默的，也适当中和了下尺度不算小的肢解斩件画面，中后段一处动物世界捕猎和男主扑杀素食者的蒙太奇感觉带有隐喻，极端的素食主义者大概会抵制这片吧。（字幕君把电视节目里的连环杀手意译成黄秋生和<人肉叉烧包>）
我看的翻译版本一直出现黄秋生的名字...很出戏
这电影好在哪呢，就是男主的变态过程不是一步到位的，这就比较切合真实的人性了。
冷门法国搞笑片，调皮的字幕组疯狂玩八仙饭店的梗。极端素食主义者一本正经的胡说八道也营造出了戏剧感。话说吃着炸鸡看这片还挺应景
内核其实是个家庭/婚姻故事，经营不善的屠夫，梦想成为连环杀手的妻子，掉进钱眼里的老友和喋喋不休的素食“伊朗猪”
恐怖片里一股清流…顺畅的剧情，不错的喜剧效果，多角度的讽刺足以组成良好的观影体验。其他都算点缀
其实比较一般的片子，明明题材很劲爆，但拍出来却平平淡淡，既不恐怖，也不惊悚，也不知道是哪里出了问题，可能是导演想用喜剧的壳来装恐怖的魂，结果弄了个四不像，男主的样子太菜，没有一狠到底或是满满变狠，和黄秋生的表演不是一个级别的。
法国人真会玩，黑色幽默的爽片，看着还挺过瘾😅
2022 No.119 / nd / nd Last：大闹天宫
我觉得其实就还好 电影的内容基本都在简介里说完了 没什么额外的枝节——当然最后这对夫妻肯定是被捉到了嘛 这个毫无疑问 让他们逍遥法外的话整个电影意义就不一样了。动物世界那一段神来之笔哈哈哈 无聊的时候可以找来看看。
用一种极端对付另一种极端：吃掉纯素食主义者。
【20220527】法国人真敢拍，（极端）素食主义者跟一切狂热分子都让人讨厌，无论他们有多么政治正确----不过他们毕竟是草食性动物，肉质鲜美可以补偿我们这些杂食动物收到的惊扰。
