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)
配乐用了西语的心之全蚀，双厨狂喜!
死神永生。全片基调悲凉，叙事手法并不新鲜。不算爱情片，少有讽刺，倒是丁老和他女儿这两个角色塑造得相当饱满，反观主角鲁和苏，他们的人生经历飘渺如烟，除了一声叹息还是一声叹息（王啸坤快认不出了💦💦
有点抓马 插曲total eclipse of the heart好听
“你走进了我孤独的私人荒漠，而我给了你一片爱的绿洲”，虽然无关结局，终究是意难平
没有才华，不懂节制。浪费主演。浪费编剧。浪费摄影。本来可以是个好电影。
关于时光会有很多话题，比如时光倒流、穿越、长生不老……这部影片也是一部关于时光的故事，人们狂热地追求着自己得不到的事物，可当有一天确实拥有了却又感到空虚疲倦。时光也是这样，当你实现了不老之后，也不过是一个困在时光长河中的孤独者，一切都显得事与愿违。片中最末提到离别才是真的的永恒，或许吧，这一生与你有关的一切，只有在离别的那一刻才会永远留在心里，时间太长了会遗忘了。电影很不错，看得是提前点映场，也是最晚散场的一次观影纪录。观影前以为会是《本杰明巴顿奇事》的模仿版。其实不然，它没有模仿谁，只是舒缓、自然地叙述着自己的故事，让人觉得温暖又有点淡淡的忧伤。
昨天晚上看的，看完直接入睡了。被编剧玩弄了。。。
充满神性的一部片子！超越了种族之见，与万物合一！隐喻了人类社会！好好想一想梦想家与怪兽的区别！
渐入佳境的电影，关于寻找的慢热故事，我眼中的你亦是你，你眼中的我亦是我。
两人视角的转换很喜欢，之前看过一部罗马尼亚的电影也一样《集体》。你带着爱来找我，我带着你的爱离开。
压抑与被规定的一次逃脱 即将开始的庭审 痴呆的父亲 无因的暴力 砸石膏 孩子气般想要回送的裙子 和贴寻人启事 去看父亲建的大坝 回去跟偶遇女人穿裙子的一夜情 车站的一夜情 “来之前我也不确定自己是个怎样的人”
我不知道为啥评分这么低，但是剧中的动物和人类之前的感情，动物之间的感情真的有打动到我，小狮子和小狼都好可爱，动物都是有灵性的，我还是很推荐~
非常让我着迷的片，看完一直在想。
也许十年后会更喜欢一点吧。
纠结到最后还是给了四星，愿我们都有属于自己的一片天地，勇敢前行，面对真实的自我。 4.0
即使到最后，从他眼里也看不出对他有一丝情感
点播一首离别的车站，“也许我会留下来当渔夫”，车驶出后方看见车站外的荒漠。Daniel全城贴网恋对象的照片寻人简直恐怖故事
题材上乘，成片稀碎，狼狮感情确实深，但和女主好像并无关系
#venezia78 酷儿狮！酷儿狮！酷儿狮！酷儿狮！（tnnd，酷儿狮居然给了创作比较有特色的the last chapter。这年头，一个好故事不值得鼓励了。幸好观众为它投了票，得了观众奖，证明其依然有价值。）
你一直是你，我却不知道什么是我，直到我们拥有属于彼此的私人荒漠
