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)
宗教，资本异化，极权统治，历史循环上演，太多太多隐喻。制作疯神这批人一定在宇宙边缘的赛博小酒馆里和八只眼的外星蠕虫举杯畅饮，然后跑进黑洞里磕上一整天的药，不然怎么能制作出如此瑰丽而带有独特粘腻气质的定格动画。整部片看下来，即使视觉上被各种猎奇之物与色彩不断冲击，我也不会感到恐怖，取而代之更多的是一种喘不过气来的压抑感，一种久违的对于幽闭与未知的本能性反抗。疯神不适合大部分人，它终将是疯子的呓语，亦或者，我们才是疯子？
好险没在吃饭的时候看，太血腥太恶心了，中间一段掏内脏那里，胃里不舒服了，开始真不知道是动画，那老人脸做的太像了吧。不过内容不精彩，看完只能想到血腥画面。
画质和音乐及两者之和谐好评。

剧情不太明显，但彩蛋比较多，于我而言还是很有意思的
非常棒的定格动画，肉块状的血腥场面，表现的淋漓尽致，极强的视觉冲击，到了足以做噩梦的地步。
类似2001太空漫游，剧情就像是观光巴士，重点是（导演想表达的）窗外的景色而非巴士座椅舒适与否。
定格动画的布景能做到这种程度令人惊叹。前30min还像是线性的故事，随后就真得就是一个无比诡谲多变的梦魇，试图从中去理解具体的意义本身就反意义，如同做梦一样，感觉大于内容本身。
p.s吃饭时看的，被自己离谱到...
很重口 简直了 这片子真的简直了 想说些什么 但啥也说不出来
连着看了两部德国新拍的关于二战前时期题材的影片，都是德国人对他们自己的那段历史的反思，也可称为德国的“伤痕文学与电影”，反思自己的历史，特别是那些错误、罪恶的历史，值得关注和肯定。本片是部传统风格的历史片，以希特勒和张伯伦等战前召开的“慕尼黑会议”、出卖捷克领土的真实历史事件为纲，虚构了两位首脑身边、参加会议的德、英两个年轻人的故事，戏剧性、可看性不错，制作也到位。网友们对该片的历史观和虚构情节有不少争论，评价不一。我缺少研究不去评论，只是觉得今天看它，还是很容易联想到当前美俄在乌克兰危机的外交政治斡旋、博弈，似乎历史永远是在重复，教训很难被吸取。对历史、政治有兴趣者可以看看。另一部电影《法比安》则是一部很个性化的文化艺术片，内容没这部丰富，技艺上不错。另谈。
80/100。从《被遗忘的孩子》到《杀掉它，然后离开这个小镇》再到本片，无数导演都在向世界证明一件事情：动画片并非天真无邪的孩子们的专利，它也可以像特效大片那样带来给人以心灵冲击的视听奇观，它也可以像那些所谓的“禁片”那样传达出纯粹的脏、乱、差、丑、恶，它更可以触碰到大师的边界，在恍惚之间让观众领略到宇宙一瞬的震撼与无奈。 @2021-10-27 22:26:50

制作组足够努力……然而我对又脏又乱又湿的环境反感至极……看不下去
我得是多无聊，才会把这么一部片子看完啊……
定格动画，花了不少功夫，但真心看不懂，就指着影评了
背景线大约是人类世界爆发核战争，导致各种生物变异，科技点也向朋克的方向发展。但是各种离奇场景更像是本片展现的重点
在走入高清的视觉之后 一切都不再显得神秘诡谲了
只用惊艳到令人乍舌的视觉奇观就撑起了将近九十分钟的电影。
机器造出来的可能称为人吗？如同蚁巢中蝼蚁，不知生死只知劳作，奶牛牧人，孩童呓语
