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)
加兰最差的电影，我知道肯定有人对这类片子要高潮，我就是要打低分。
生育力既是自然又是枷锁...好牛的第三幕，居然是男导演拍的！连环分娩太惊艳了（唯一不太吃的是大片的绿色屏保
好看的！吓人的！里面的疯逼男的可以在本国每一条互联网新闻内随处可见。所以我们活在恐怖片里是有道理的。
如果看之前知道是机械姬的导演，我大概不会打开了。
明白前面是渲染气氛呢，就是质感差了点，有点太故弄玄虚了，你看林奇如果搞这一套就肯定让人后背发凉，这还是导演疯批程度和艺术水准的差距。后面四次大分娩着实惊人，这个段落的不适感值得反复观摩。到底男人要啥？结论是要爱，女主一听就毫不震惊，当然了，除了这个还能要啥，男人终究是巨婴罢了。
用恐怖片的怪异离奇现象表达女性困境，所有的男人都一张脸，家暴、跟踪、性骚扰和强X，然后说我只想要你的的爱？
年度惊悚片，男权世界里，男人是其他男人们的帮凶、影子、分身、镜像，电影里尖锐的侵入感塑造的极好，不靠一惊一乍吓人的欧美恐怖片并不多见，女主和男主好演技，男主一人分饰多角不带重样的
故事简单了点，不过起码比别的恐怖惊悚片好看有特色，白天惊悚的场面很多，挺好。
我靠 其实本来都觉得无聊了，但后来开始套娃实在精彩。比钛那段还来劲。
故事简单了点，不过起码比别的恐怖惊悚片好看有特色，白天惊悚的场面很多，挺好。
他们侮辱追踪恐吓施暴自虐，居然还以爱之名。
和《湮灭》一样，充满让人san值狂掉的克苏鲁场面。大爱加兰导演的风格。
为了一点醋包了一锅饺子。cult场面没有铺垫部分吓人，恶心更多一点。片末场景女主丈夫说完台词后感想是“就这”…
布努埃尔的一角两饰到这里的一人饰多角 这里体现共性 皆为一体 借以表达主题 虽然最后那里（大家所说的“套娃男人”）还是看得目瞪口呆 但是整体呈现出来的东西比较浅显
最后一层一层地孕育出一个满嘴“爱你”的男人的时候，不寒而栗。那蕴藏在父权文化最深处的 toxicity 让人绝望。
别扯什么隐喻了，故事都讲不明白的电影能叫电影吗？
②“他们说女人很温柔很爱流泪，说这很美”，女人啊，你的弱点是善良，女主的愧疚，内心的不安就来自于此，没有错，却总要怀疑自己，以及结尾点题爱，“爱啊，多少罪恶假汝之名以行”，而“女人最大的愿望是被爱”
看到60分钟的时候我一个人已经怕到看不下去了……坚持了后面的四十分钟真的觉得诚不我欺！！！！整个飞升！！！！加五星！！！！！哦湮灭的导演是吗？想想最后那个肿瘤毒液人是不是也很飞升？wow学到了！！！！
非常赞，对女主被丈夫困扰的方方面面用影像进行了令人印象深刻的演绎。可惜这电影的评论各种搞分裂的打拳者令人恶心。这些上纲上线的拳师和以前某些小将真的如出一辙。
本质还是拿女权说事儿。影像质量上乘，尤其是色彩搭配，很吸睛。前半段精致后半段鬼扯，完全不讲逻辑了。血浆割手来路不明，人肉套娃哗众取宠，蒲公英隐喻母体还是精子？有点乱。
