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)
情节稍微弱了点，但大环境塑造和人物心理表现还可以。p. s. 这样的卷毛小可爱谁不喜欢呢（狗头）
背景挺黑暗的，警察不好好执法，高层迫害同性恋，受的小卷毛和攻的小胡子都好可爱，结局不太懂，总感觉是be
2021最喜欢的两部同影之一 另一部是Firebird
在我的观感里面，电影算是好看的。悬疑部分不烧脑，感情线略短但也算是递进式，男二选了个帅哥倒也合理解释了男主掰弯的前提，毕竟谁不喜欢好看的脸蛋呢。
演员，摄影，故事完美。停在胜利的晚宴上足以，根本不需要过多的描述后面的内容。
这男人想要的是女人眼里流出的液体。女巫刚变成人时晾晒衣服时把脸凑在衣服留下的水上，变成狗去窥探男人，进而变成男人。电影序幕比较长，过了很久才开始正题，有点耐心
披着恐怖片外衣的文艺片，很喜欢（Felix接到第一个直男角色吧？恭喜）
我怕是我上辈子没烧够香，才沦落到看这种电影。
《被遗忘的女巫的阴影》，十九世纪马其顿的农村风俗让人联想起果戈里笔下的小俄罗斯和托尔斯泰笔下的大俄罗斯
同影的一个小小突破吧，谁说同影一定要文艺浪漫呢？
神烦这种用伪文艺片的拿腔拿调的方式来拍恐怖片的做法，恶心！装逼遭雷劈！
唯美的画面和肠子，在男权社会中寻找爱与被爱，故事内核是对女性主义的探讨。年度十佳占位。
私人的亲情和爱情与案件的终点真相，审问者与被审问者，情理交融。太精彩了！在特殊历史时期，压抑的政治高墙内喘息，直到最后更为动人。
披着惊悚片外衣的文艺片，我能说我没看懂么...
环球，口碑爆棚，劳米现在可以算得上是劳模了，一年最少两部片
这么多年过去，就像我们依然在讨论朱迪福斯特说的，最好的男演员身上的脆弱感到底是什么。那种脆弱感就像女巫每次变换成不同人类时，眼睛里流露出的迷茫和怜悯，关于这个身份，这个我到底是天生的，还是被塑造的，被驯服的？你，我，他，女人，男人，我们，你们，到底什么是相同的，什么是不同的？
小女巫变形计，配乐也非常生命之树，去个戛纳，来几个明星肯定火
不同视角的人类观察和体验记，看似诡异离奇的“女巫”却作为视角的载体有其客观性。有趣的是当你为了一个人all in 的时候你变得越来越像人，同时也不得不表露你的本性。
挺好的片子啊，有同性题材的罪案片，如果只想看谈情说爱那可以绕道了，故事悬疑感还不错。
意识流恐怖寓言，不断地以新生视角获取感知。一股忧伤气息，一部后摇电影，一则抒情散文，导演绝对是马力克死忠粉。★★★☆/7.6
