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)
3.5＋ 对于做一部传统黑色电影翻拍，就别想着去说创作者在人物上没有深度什么屁话，正统黑色电影早已永远留在了40年到50年代末了。陀螺将自己特有的味道留下了一部怀旧片，对于黑色电影影迷来说或许不够好，那个年代的味道不是服化道美术能够替代的，后期调光更不用说了，演员表演的方式也在改变，纯粹的已经不在。如今当代黑色电影风格是一种活络的技法，它不在单一成为风格化形式表现，虽然可以在类型片做到各种融合，但人成为了最重要也是最难的一个融合。
天道好轮回.. P.S：魔兔几乎没有对手戏啊...
陀螺讲故事太没说服力了，美术也就勉勉强强。人物跑来跑去跑不出片场，肉眼可见的省钱，卡司阵容浪费观众一片赤诚。陀螺别谋害剧本了你还是专心去画画吧～
前半部分太长了 结尾渐入佳境 陀螺还是nb的 copper真的不错
陀螺又把自己最喜欢的那些东西拍成了一部电影，但这个剧情确实差点意思。
没看过原版，但两个半小时的时长太拖沓！开头悬念，男主放火烧尸，中间回忆几度闪回，尽管有因有果，可男主性格有着说不出的别扭，感觉是剧本强行让他走向geek之路。《卡罗尔》两位女主几乎零互动！啊！宣传照骗人！
兜兜转转，还是成为了笼子里的人
教科书级的节奏感十足的狗血小品。处理得自在轻盈。丝毫不削弱现实主义意义，得亏用这种表达方式。巴登表演无懈可击。
看完也没什么值得回味细究的东西，就是一个名导演的作品看完罢了，没啥惊喜
完全搞不明白它是怎么打败《倒数时刻》的。陀螺舍弃了故事将重心放在了艺术上，两个半小时废话太多，又是铺垫又是悬念的，挖了一个又一个坑然后告诉你这是个反诈宣传片。看不懂，也不震撼。
前半段马戏团部分有让我想起小时候游乐园里看到过的畸形秀，长大后再也没有了。
多出来的40分钟得到了精致的埋线和铺垫，也带来了刻意和冗长。
这也太长了，节奏慢，实在看不下去了。58分钟弃剧。
精神分析大战读心术，结论：还是得看塔罗牌的。毛骨悚然的浪漫。
就说这个译名吧 一直在想谁是玉面谁是情魔 看困了给我
这算消费CP粉不doge谁给你的胆子叫人家小白兔HOW DARE U
不難看，但可能剪成幾集電視劇放上netflix效果更好
这么些名角凑在一起，就拍了个这！？太尴尬了，我都替主角尴尬，为什么他们自己不尴尬呢？
最喜欢开头马戏团的一段。视觉上有独特的地方，场景氛围塑造的很不错。男主全程就是自我膨胀，到最后沦为geek。这个片子对精神分析有很多特别批判的地方 哈哈
6.5/10，不理解但也有点儿喜欢，理解了但也没那么喜欢，水形物语也没那么喜欢，但视听确实很好，我可能不太适合陀螺，不是，反过来，
