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)
奔跑时的音乐真好听，虽然电影整体是沮丧的，可是几个奔跑的片段却总有些鼓舞，就像阴天里云缝里漏下的光。海边的曼彻斯特寒冷雪白，海边的函馆也冷风嗖嗖，但至少洒下了几缕阳光。
戏内：妻子孕期 东抑郁试图自杀住院 妻子独自回东京。
非常好。同样是一个生命不能承受之轻的故事，喜欢镜头里轻轻浅浅的沉默。静谧的观影过程令人回到了《幻之光》。
一直跑下去吧。彰与和雄形成镜像，或许人的死是不需要理由的。东出昌大真迷人啊…
20211125 故事直白但起码讲得圆，人物动机算可以理解。但男主演技看了让人恼火，扣1颗星
演员差节奏差，如果我没看过彗星来的那一夜可能还能高一星
吃药，跑步，更重要的是家人和自己的良性互动。
有点像恐怖游轮，但这个应该是梦吧？对应开头医院
202111121345虽然有坑，但是瑕不掩瑜。
可以，抓到我了。摄影可圈可点，看得出诚意，没有粗制滥造
blue那部我就觉得东出会演戏了，夜以继日和唐田明明烂透。
体育老师打算去西班牙旅行
换以前可能不觉得，现在自己有症状能感同身受了
2021.11.10 挺不错的小成本科幻啊，虽然故事走向和彗星来的那一夜很像，但是也还是蛮精彩的。最后女主选择留在了孩子没有离开的世界，但开局明明女主躺在了急救车上，这怕不是一个幻想或者一个梦境吧...
跟叔和叔的狐朋狗友坐在车里驶向保龄球馆那一段路程❤️
佐藤泰志小说改编的作品都很喜欢，函馆天然的有一种寂寞地忍耐着什么在生活的气质。跑步在停车场那儿两条叙事线第一次交叠的部分很美。
erin推荐。挺喜欢的。记着了lower-upper-middle class，看完了想读小说。这种家庭/成长/作家自传题材本来就是对大部分人都有共鸣的。70年代配乐好评，虽然有些场景拍得像mv。没想到是乔治克鲁尼执导的，对他的之前印象还是迎娶白富美女律师。
看的我脊背发凉
抑郁症，回乡，跑步，滑板，遛狗，烟火，函馆。东出真的太适合这种丧颓又自私的角色，那些跑步的镜头也确实治愈，结局蛮耐人寻味的，你可以说他跑了出来也可以说他彻底崩坏。主线和年轻人那条线结合得有点突兀，但那两个拖树桩想要去卖钱的少年人，那个想要养狗的女孩，那个总穿运动服教英语的朋友，也蛮让人印象深刻的。最惊喜的是奈绪扮演的妻子角色，她在这段关系里不是只顾埋头奉献，而也有自己的索求，有主动去爱的能力有进退的勇气。摄影师把函馆拍得很美，也有可能函馆不管怎么拍都美。
这种题材应该支持。我不想都是些爱情片儿童片主旋律片和喜剧片
