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)
这么屌的故事估计一般的导演都拍不好，最后眼镜妹那段哭戏也算是教科书级别的烂了
不知道人类为什么用婚姻这种东西来禁锢和折磨自己。
我觉得还不错啊，幻想真的很浪漫！故事弱了些，但是这个设定真不错。
【Inferior】D
修行，从来不会脱离我们的生活；
比较新颖的设定，当生活中天天见天天用的物品，天天照顾的绿植和宠物都变得拟人化，换谁都会各种社死。剧情荒诞，剪辑有点乱，喜剧感浓厚。
变态+多重人格，并不知道怎么会点开这部电影，有反转但观感不佳
中年婚姻，同一屋檐下的行尸走肉，同床异梦的夫妻角色扮演者。一潭死水般的生活甚至不如那几通小三姐姐的电话来的有生命力。每个人都在摆烂，因为他们深陷这种泥沼，在里面缓缓躺平了。生活化的流水日常作为影片的主旋律，让人倍感压抑，仿佛与他们夫妻无声的同桌吃饭，食不知味。
剧情实在是不怎么样，眼镜妹和当年的十元很像。
挺能轻松解闷的片子呐，别对他定位太高，就图个乐子，合格了。
演员还行吧，风景不错，但是作为一部电影问题好多啊
很一般，而且有个相同设定的同名漫画，我一直在是不是抄袭的来回反问
设定还是好的，就是看着有点无聊，也没觉得多搞笑。那个“绿植”总靠在冰箱旁边，一开始出来我以为她是冰箱来着。还有，如果是阿震觉得自己有病，而女医生一直觉得他没有的设定，是不是更合理一点？
冲着了解古屋去的，只能说，hentai的世界我不懂
我觉得有些地方还有点好笑啊，能与物品对话的这个设定挺有意思的。
16岁太小，18岁太成熟，17岁刚刚好，作为一个被害者，还挺挑剔。
看过田中圭这么多戏了，这是我第一次真正get到他的魅力，不得不说，变态属性就是性感值的重要加成。整体上和他去年另一部《哀愁灰姑娘》挺像的，在极端情境的假象下写人性，触达的永远不是真正的人性。
谁是小偷，谁天打五雷轰。
可恶的是，她本守自己的本分，该做的家务没落，一副贤妻良母的样子。但另一方面明知道丈夫想要什么，却又不肯给予。还强迫对方和自己吃难吃的素食，喝难咽的果汁，还要绑着对方，连老狗也要阉了。这到底是为什么
这种片子的评价注定两极分化，经历过的会莫名共鸣，没经历过的倍速+快进都看不进去。能提名甚至获奖绝不是凭空而来，男女主演技（本色出演的状态）出神入化，片尾曲锦上添花。婚姻何尝不是这世上最难经营的生意？
