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)
看的b站解说。知识工作者，需要了解心理学和大脑的工作方式。
整部片子有些割裂，但看到最后却还是被感动。
苏打咩加星，中间阿乡出轨还不离？无法理解。但是前后有的镜头转化确实不错，苏打和咩的眼睛里有星星
北川从电影里带他走的时候
精神的折磨会挫败普通人，却会让牛逼人更加牛逼。
无语……老套的故事，敷衍的人物塑造，yy式的女性角色，套个电影情怀，一些人就开始自我拔高了
天哪…居然能把这样的题材拍得又尬又没意思，其中关于整个片子核心——电影相关的致敬也少之又少，显得电影这个主题仿佛随便置换成其他主题也没什么影响。明明这么一个关于如何在暮年实现往昔梦想、弥补过错的故事怎么拍都很容易打动人心，看在洋次郎和苏打贡献主题曲的份上勉强给个合格分。
哦有点没看懂，为什么最后说人的精神坚不可摧呢?难道是说虽然身体身陷囹圄，但是精神已经逃了出去，逃到了自己搭建的象棋世界吗？这种关于心理学的电影确实是比较难看懂的。
感觉电影和现实互文做得最好的地方是雪天相遇的时候电影院正在放瑟堡的雨伞。另外我也想要原节子从小津的片子里跳出来！感觉基本上把小津成濑这一批松竹老将黑了个遍，好奇怪这么迷影的片子为啥基本没人笑呢？虽然转折有点扭到腰，但看得明明很开心嘛
为保证客户资产密码，男主被纳粹禁锢、折磨，靠着一本棋谱熬过了战争，战后进了精神病院。另一条线即游轮上进行的象棋比赛，应为男主幻想出来的？
这是一个落魄导演不得志的故事，也是一个美丽女性守护自己的爱情牺牲一切的故事
挺喜欢的。果然拍电影的人都是无赖呀！老男主演的很好，冥顽不灵的样子很出彩。｜来不及的话跑去请太阳等一下呀！｜所以不能当厉害的影评人的话，想开一家自己喜欢片子的电影院啊。
电影之神保佑我们，别让电影因疫情而落寞了……
“志村健先生，后会有期” 谁看了不泪目呢，在电影院看电影看到死，现实中是真的有存在的啊～
我是一个抑郁症患者，我通过多年的力量训练缓解了这一症状。上海封城，我的力量训练无法继续，生活又回到了以前的模式，我在痛苦中挣扎。
抛开茨威格的原著不谈，还是个挺吃演员表演的戏，男主不得拿个奖吗。
旧梦、老友、往日、故人，愿你好景如昔，松竹盛放…… 里面北川景子的那句台词太帅了“你只能选择一种方式去后悔，人生就是这么一回事，你就照自己的意思去做吧！”
卖情怀的电影。以前的生活吵吵闹闹就是一生，爱不爱的，很难说清，都缠在一起了。有说艺术家都是一身的毛病才能铸就。最后又有点像范进中举。林林总总，各种乱炖，拍的好，百感交集，拍的不好，显得有些杂乱，面多了冲击力就弱了。也许适合静静悠闲的午后，喝口热茶，慢慢看吧。PS:以前的日子仿佛想告诉你，家庭里没有对错，不知道是对是错。
一封对电影的情书，通过放映转场回过去很有情调，接回现实也便是回忆。
真心喜欢不起来剧本，不过赞叹主演们的精彩演出，苏打的哭戏一如既往的稳，咩酱太灵了，饰演的淑子完全就是我的理想型了。
