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)
刀第一个时太卧槽了，伊朗肉很好吃啊，欲罢不能啊！
利用观众的同理心侧写主角，分散罪恶感。
一个公证人拒绝说出他受托管理的巨额财产，受尽了纳粹残酷的精神折磨。故事用了很多闪回和交叉叙事的方式，描述了男主臆想的心理现象。那本在意外中获得的象棋一书，成了他唯一的精神支柱。后面下棋的场景用了快速闪回的镜头，表现了男主精神上已处于现实与虚幻的状态中，其精神世界已坍塌。男主演得非常好，尤其是内心戏。
7.0+ 在影院看预告片的时候就已经爽到了，但是精华也都在预告片里了。几处悬疑效果还是效果不错。
看吧看吧，只有吃肉才能拯救中年危机增加财政收入解决无性生活增添夫妻情趣，吃肉使我快乐！去nmd 兔兔那么可爱怎么能吃兔兔！22.04.18
弃局而退或是真正意义上的胜利。
维尼好可怜，在学校被人霸凌死前被追到心脏病发病而亡，但我不理解他吃素的怎么能长的那么粉嘟嘟胖乎乎又那么好吃的。
轻松氛围和舒缓节奏冲淡了影片的黑色与重口。另，黄秋生招谁了。三星半。
动物世界那段蒙太奇很棒，电影里的极端素食主义非常吓人。
肉食者复仇极端素食者展现的极端行径，幽默对话不那么幽默，但占了大篇幅
怎么会有这样的片子，没见过还美化连续杀人魔
故事比电影精彩/记住了一句台词/“准时会偷走最好的时光”
男主角太拉了，反观素食主义者们，甚至比男主角更强，至少他们敢反抗。
格调很高，风格化极强的黑色喜剧。法国人搞起「恶趣味」，真的可以令世界各国人民都自惭形秽。想必导演一定不是「素食主义者」，因为在他精心的塑造下，这些人极尽贪婪、自私、极端、暴戾、可恶至极。可导演也不像是个「肉食者」，因为他们残忍、歹毒、冷漠、卑鄙、心狠手辣，以至于看过电影后我几乎已经无法去面对生肉。最后再说一句，不管某群体爱听不爱听，电影中塑造的「极端素食主义」与当下风行的某些「极端女性主义」，共同点颇多，你细品。
太搞笑了，美中不足的是结尾有点仓促，要是朋友肉贩子吃过伊朗猪肉后也开始贩卖就完美了
好久没看到这么有意思的电影了，立意和想象力的妙趣横生，连带着对社会议题的表达。极端素食主义的荒诞，中产阶级的庸俗与虚伪，夫妻婚姻的倦怠与刺激。非常喜欢片中对猎杀的喜剧化、夸张化的处理，满溢着一种轻盈而惊悚、幽默而残忍的童话质感。
怎么让观众不憎恨主角呢，他可是在杀人，那是犯罪。
爽！全程笑个不停，提高了法国喜剧的上线。结局被抓遗憾
挺讽刺的…社会发展发展，什么样奇葩的事情发生都正常了…
看过之后还是很震撼的，唤起了我之前看过这本书的一些片段。这个电影让我再次看到了对人性的摧残是多么无所不用其极！也让我更加珍惜精神的力量。就像茨威格说的那样：今天的我们，应该矢志不渝地抱有一个信念，那就是，唯精神坚不可摧。（1941）
