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)
人没出去魂丢了 最后两段时空线索的交叉还蛮好看的 虽然也猜到了结局
你们不吃肉是你的自由，麻烦不要来妨碍我们吃肉的自由。(如果结局他们没被抓，我会再多给一星。)
法国电影就是任性。挺有趣的一部荒诞喜剧片，把激进素食主义者和大资本家狠狠批了一顿。那个领了盒饭的在荤食店工作的素食主义者，我很🉑。
讽刺素食环保主义，恶趣味十足，血腥画面张力够，扣一星给结尾，真的太泄气了。
很容易联想到之前看的新鲜，不同的是那个走香艳路线，这个走的搞笑路线，把吃人这种恐怖题材拍的笑死人还蛮带感的。素食者、伊朗肉这些设定也可以细品。
周一晚上看的。开头就很emm......还好没在吃东西的时候看，我是咧着嘴滋着牙看的，好家伙。也不知道字幕翻译对不对，我都想去看黄秋生的《人肉叉烧包》了。
不管什么情况，最后被击垮的是精神，然后就什么也没有了。
结尾是个什么鬼？如果被抓的是另外那对肉店夫妇就是神作了。3.5
黄sir这个梗我是接住了 冰血暴的梗也接住了 也许他们进去 是最好的人物归宿
剧情相对简单 一邪到底，无法回头……（虽然有些逻辑问题：开篇时 既然是老肉脯的师傅了，处理尸体居然乱砍手法）内核居然是致敬黄秋生的《人肉叉烧包》最后很聪明的控制了片长80分钟，如果是更多的时间，那么一定是更差。
7.0+ 在影院看预告片的时候就已经爽到了，但是精华也都在预告片里了。几处悬疑效果还是效果不错。
一部带着黑色幽默的荒诞恐怖片，试图传达“尊重他人自由选择”的价值观
也就法国人能把恐怖和喜剧，甚至爱情元素 融合成这样一部爽片了。
作为一个经常被极端素食主义者烦到的人，看完直呼过瘾！情节非常紧凑，没有废话；虽然性别意识稍显落后、个别人物设定cliché，但都个性鲜明，刻画得很利落。算得上一部非常成功的荒诞小品。如果用两个字总结这部片子给我的印象，那就是“痛快”。
利用观众的同理心侧写主角，分散罪恶感。
凑合看，消磨时间，可以看到对现在政治正确的反讽，基本也限于口嗨，想要得到更深入的思考，可能就是缘木求鱼了
一年，唯一做的事就是看一本国际象棋的书，背棋谱，下国际象棋，然后就灵魂自由了。感觉书应该不电影好看，找找看
今年看过的比较有意思的新片，虽然结构剧情风格都不算特别有创意。秋生梗很好笑，广东人吃狗梗不知道是字幕组调皮，还是导演有意为之，但是不要吃狗！狗是人类的朋友！
故事模式很像美剧《返生餐单》，有一些很黑色的喜剧梗，但要邪恶得多。很难说这电影到底想说明个啥主题，我只是觉得如果条件允许，人自甘堕落的快感和能力是会超乎想象的。
超级黑素食主义者哈哈哈 导演是不是被他们得罪过啊这剧情已经把素食者几乎放在人类对立面了 PS：字幕组ballball了别再自作聪明在字幕里玩梗了 差点让人看不明白了
