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)
后半段就和导演的运镜和效果一样 迷迷糊糊的
除了不喜欢结局，不想接受她跟别人结婚之外，其他都很好。唉，还是在等，还是在遗憾，但仍觉美好。
錯過了《一級指控》，把戲飛給了這套。影評人對兩位新導演真的很好了，有讚無彈。只能說還有很多進步空間，希望能收個五百萬吧，再給我從小就開始看的楊潮凱一個機會。兩位主角倒是演得不錯，一個有演技，一個合眼緣。
翘脚跳交谊舞的段落，以及阿飞的配乐响起来的时候，笑得打滚
让前女友当自己的伴娘到底是啥心态啊？？？？
一开始女一比女二好看，但是最后女二穿上婚纱的时候，不输女一！
我不理解。。。感觉想说的很多但是又都没说好。
下刀子的片段果断划过，年岁渐长只要甜的部分疗愈自己。
- 唔使死老豆
不如04年的「蝴蝶」令人共鸣、动容。
也许
因为我只有你这一个朋友。
- 古典音樂、配樂運用極差
你开始、她有意，你开始、她退却，她犯错、你负担，她犯错、因你而失去，她追逐、你摒弃，你……，她成全。爱了一场错误，春帷既揭，你们哒哒地重复错过。
#OAFF 3.5 华语圈女同片相对来说太少，能在大阪的电影院看很开心。也许是剪辑的原因，中学时代的故事有一点流水账的感觉，有些部分的衔接也不够自然。印象最深的一句话还是，共同经历就会有共同回忆吗？总体来说还是很能共情的，最后婚礼的部分有哭到。
但还是很美，很好
看完发现泪流满面。代入感太强。如果有如果，我想再勇敢一点。滤镜和情节不行，但两位主演真的很棒！
同时也完全包括了各种的烂俗桥段:分手 重逢 约定
- 濾鏡毫無美感
我真的觉得挺好的呜呜呜，真的很能共情。可能是因为我在高中有相同的情愫却没有她们的勇气叭，缓不过来了，想起她了。。
