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)

高文爵士与圣诞游戏
Green is what is left when ardor fades,when passion dies,when we die,too.Moss shall cover your tombstone,and as the sun rises,green shall spread over all,in all its shades and hues.This verdigris will overtake your swords and your coins and your battlements and,try as you might,all you hold dear will succumb to it.Your skin,your bones.Your virtue.
很可以辨认出一些过于当代的弑亲情结。其实是个万全的试炼，弑了白弑。摄影机有一些神秘的（也就是莫名其妙的）操作，小屏幕看有点疲劳。维坎德在后半部的扮相过于像乔丹·皮尔的搭档凯了……
没有宗教知识背景 看得云里雾里 看了第一篇影评后大概了解了各种隐喻
这并不是说它是我今年看过的最糟糕的电影，但它是最无意义的电影之一。大卫洛维这次节奏慢得惊人，几乎可以说是毫无乐趣可言。不要看这部电影，除非你只喜欢枯燥的艺术电影风格，而可以忽略缺乏到顶点令人信服的情节。近年来最无意义、最令人不快的电影之一，有再好的艺术水准都不行。
3星半，寻找荣誉与勇气的路程，展现的是一个男人的成长史，A24特立独行的影像风格与空灵缥缈的配乐有点小史诗的味道。
一部集孩童的天真浪漫与成人的阴暗色彩的童话寓言，每一帧都是油画，每一个停顿都是诗章，铺面而来的复古风更是华丽，还是我喜欢的那个David Lowery。
动物电影里的人类不仅多余，还显得自作多情… 加拿大好美啊，这两年要找机会去。
画面极美，摄影和艺术指导差不多都到天花板了，但叙事对普通观众实在太不友好。无论对原版的高汶与绿骑士的传说是否熟悉，这部电影看起来都是一样的迷惑和疲惫。台词讲得慢，角色动作慢，明明90分钟就足够讲完的故事被拉长到了130分钟，注意力跟着镜头迷失在美轮美奂的森林里。如此古老的文学梗，不加解释和铺垫就直接搬上银幕，真的不行。表演也奇怪，感觉大家各演各的，和整体特别不搭。尤其是坎妹，她真的不适合古装，而且，好久不见，怎么台词发声都不对劲了？

So charming this movie, what a life journey.纵使太多神话隐喻不懂，但洛维从鬼魅浮生就练就了一身艺术风格，令人着迷的时间体格，更别说还加了我最爱的神话原型。不就是一个畏畏缩缩的男人嘛，贪慕荣耀却贪生怕死，畏畏缩缩也不慷慨大方。还有导演关于绿色的说教，color of rot，color of life。直面生活的勇士，需要在壮志赴死的时候抽出生命的绿腰带。
构图，绝 ! 色彩，美 ! 灯光，牛! 这就是当不了烂片的原因了。
你不得不承认，看似愚钝顽固的骑士精神是自然演化的产物，也就是在上帝眷顾的某个社群，遵守诺言总是比不遵守的人活得更长。这一事实不需要再去论证，只需要用华美的词藻和广漠的镜头形容一遍就可以了。
布景确实不错，颜色搭配的很好。一部成功的电影，是各方面的和谐，这部配乐也不错，最后至少点题了，还不错，克服勇气。
城堡内的改编太乱了欣赏不来，结局的解决方式倒是很不错，色调黑绿黑绿的，可以，这很不列颠。#
这个看不懂不知道是我没了解相关知识，还是编剧就是如此讲故事。
色彩清奇，画面绝美。看得云里雾里，但值得反复回味。(寻找骑士精神之旅，绿色即永恒？)
挡在你胸前的盔甲，保护着我让我心疼
