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)
netflix 一口气做了9张不同语言《慕尼黑 战争边缘》的海报，可见最近财报压力有多大。片子极好，一直是手持，前面晃动幅度大一点加快节奏顺便文本一下不稳定的关系，后面入戏了幅度就小了很多。从感官上讲，这种台词极多又是历史背景的电影，如果再拍的四平八稳，估计没人看了。因为是历史，也希望不要重演了，俄罗斯股市跌到熔断，欧美股市跌了4%，大概不仅是美联储要加息吧。
（Jeremy Irons演技占一星）
历史框架内的虚构看得人心累，毕竟不能像无耻混蛋那样把希特勒炸上天。
片子的节奏不错，演员有不少熟面孔，德国部分剧情的布景也很眼熟，如果你看过巴比伦柏林，一定不会陌生。
继ggad后又一对英国男人和他的致命德国男友。
哎也是不知道是不是历史重现 - 2022 Jan.
虽然影片一直洗白张伯伦看着不爽，但没想到结尾字幕竟然能把英国二战胜利归功于张伯伦用慕尼黑协定牺牲苏台德换来的那一年偏安。真被恶心吐了。
关于元历史，「政治现实」和具体的人；片尾字幕或许削弱了影片的电影性，但我无比认同Paul对「希望」的解构：当被抛入所处的时代，「主体性」是用行动来书写的——德意志外交官其实是一位存在主义大师。（Hugh/Paul让我代到特吕弗/戈达尔是可以说的吗
十年过去 仍然记得中学历史书上张伯伦的那张照片“我们已经拿到了和平的保证”。是的，希望，是指望别人做一些事来改变，但是，we have to fight，and I will definitely fight。看完这样的历史战争片总是内耗太大，不动一枪一火却能感受到其中的紧张。老板给我的感觉还真的和首相一样，日理万机之间跟你抽空说几分钟……

张伯伦对英国二战的贡献不亚于丘吉尔，为英国备战争取了宝贵的时间。“乌克兰危机”以史为鉴
翻案张伯伦，希特勒找的演员莫不是之前演喜剧的那个？
出乎意料的紧张刺激，也从侧面提现了张伯伦的性格和理念
风烛残年的老人，看得要比年轻气盛的小伙子更远。
二战前一年德国和英国的众生态，顺便从另一个角度重新认识（吹捧洗白）张伯伦。是好题材，但为了展现这段历史而设的几个虚拟角色性格都很扁平，演得也不咋地，其实除了张伯伦，其他几个政治人物也被描写得很脸谱化，很乏味。
一个新视角下的张伯伦和希特勒。以往看到的内容大多总带着结果去看过程，上帝视角下都是成者王侯败者寇，但要理解到政客一定也是精算了当其时每一项抉择的沉默成本和机会成本
二战+英德+夏日回忆+牛津校友+外交官×翻译官重逢，对不起但这妥妥的是带英男同片配置啊，建议加上《莫里斯》《故园风雨后》组成二战爱情三部曲。（Ps.杰尼斯的帅气程度让我狂喜，欧美年轻一代演员终于有一个正经大帅哥了，流lui感慨，请给他多塞资源！）
来看铁叔演张伯伦，节奏把握还行，有兴趣拜读原作。
三星半，还行，不过，试图给张伯伦翻案，好似不是那个理。
英德问题是：一个好战必亡 另一个忘战必危，导演借男主总结的话是扯jb🥚的，甚至和德国男2说的自相矛盾
