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)
剧情俗套到你可以全程不开字幕。听着完全不懂的法语都能了解整个故事走向。作为调剂看看还不错
不值得推理，最大的bug是警察仿佛是傻子……但片子也不妨碍恰饭
跟远山恋人差不多，这种雪山救援题材真的很难拍精彩，最后拉回来一点
平铺直叙的一部灾难电影，从头到尾让人昏昏欲睡，啥都拍了，有感觉啥都没拍，一星半。
能看到无数个类型片的影子和桥段，却又烂出了新高度。多一星也是给Queen B，像极了绝望自救的中年母亲。
What a great waste of my time
无巧不成影，但要知道过犹不及，惊悚刺激过过瘾了。
可惜，前2/3叙事流畅，讽刺过瘾，搞笑到位，结果在父亲坦白真相的那个时刻，影片瞬间自我毁灭了……女孩男友的口音是大亮点，演员好厉害，一个巴黎人能练就那么一口西班牙式的法语口音，还说得那么溜！！！
前半段很精彩啊！暴雪遇险虽然艰难但是演得真实又出彩，后半段突然静下来讲内心戏，就逐渐有些压抑。片子还是好片子，值得一看！
孤独的老母亲在暴风雪的当天登山救了一个神经病，然后回家泡了个澡。观众能坚持到泡澡已经不容易了，在即将放弃观看的时候揭开悬念升华主题，只能说编剧对于真实事件的还原超越了影片本身的观赏性设计。画面很美丽，摄影很讲究，事件很真实，剧本很吊诡。
看完才发现在本片中饰演大儿子的演员Victor Artus Solaro也饰演了Docteur?里便秘需要灌肠的病人🤣
轻松愉悦的喜剧，剧情合不合理不太重要。
老公不是老公，闺蜜不是闺蜜。女主真的太惨了。
最后那段没看明白到底男人是想Kate 说出来还是不说，有些矛盾
监控视频显示:警察确实在海边推搡了女二，怎么解释呢？
反转再反转的片子 英国 克罗地亚 棋盘格子国 乱死了 喉咙 眼睛 balls 叙利亚难民成了最可信赖的人。 导演水平一般 演技也一般
把我逗笑的只有后面Juan Carlos给一个男的打电话的梗了。
少了最后一个反转，女主应该才是设局的最终人选，包括那个司机，也是同伙！克罗地亚旅游局有赞助吗？部分场景简直就是旅游景点集锦嘛，奈何这个剧情谁敢去啊！
自然风光不错，暴风雪太可怕了。剧情没被带入。
比例有点失衡，三兄妹在穷困潦倒那三个月的转变应该多着笔墨。
