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)
这两天断断续续看的 没啥特别的感触吧 男主演技蛮好的 丝毫没有代入marry poppins
你说，人不能什么都怕，尤其是自由，所以我大胆的和黑暗对抗，摆脱束缚，做了一回真正的自己。流弹四射，我送你逃走，无论我能不能追上你，我的心，早已和你一起，获得了自由！
最后令人遐想的结局，一切都不言自明
“波兰人不喜欢波兰人快乐。”
对“风信子”有了额外的认知。情节类似韩国揭露政局的电影，不过还没那么成熟。Arek和Robert在卧室那段好似《春光乍泄》。Hubert Milkowski好稚嫩，像2018年的提莫西。
虽然是小场景，小制作，但也不能吝惜5颗星，
如果你是不喜歡黑暗抑鬱題材的人，這部電影可能就不適合你看了，因為影片的氛圍和劇情讓人看完內心衝擊會有點深，感覺心情都變得低沉了。
希望历史不要重演，希望历史赶快翻篇……
感觉这两人之间不太来电，特别是卷毛受，眼里没戏，像个美丽的石雕
“人不能对一切感到恐惧，尤其是为了自由。”
那是时期的波兰固然黑暗，可当下的波兰也并不好啊！剧情的确是老套了点，但男一男二的故事线不错，二人床戏性张力十足。
苍白的冷光与昏黄的暖光切割出两个对峙的世界，又在审讯室中交汇撕扯；分裂的镜像、破碎的镜像、残余的镜像，渐次映照出主人公自我认同的变化轨迹。情节未出意料，体验远超预期。
阴郁的波兰让人看的觉得很压抑 故事总体中规中矩 结尾有些怪异 破案的点感觉也很弱
压抑社会下的隐秘爱恋，爱多不自由，你多么难得。
铁幕下的华沙，铁幕下的爱恋，铁幕下弥漫至今的压抑、炙热、抗争、呐喊、不公……
隐匿在匣中的枪依旧等待着现世展露锋芒的一刻，舒缓的风中我们又看到了那个美利坚曾经残酷的西部，让枪声再多飞一会儿吧…
生命诚可贵，爱情价更高。若为自由故，两者皆可抛。
聚会-"这样你就有回来的理由了";
影片结尾我倾向于he——“我不会丢下你一个人走”是甜蜜的承诺，但我们依然要面对警笛声围绕、讨伐肃清四起、无处不压迫的现实。
铁幕下的华沙，铁幕下的爱恋，铁幕下弥漫至今的压抑、炙热、抗争、呐喊、不公……
