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)
是徒劳吗？ 所以驹子爱的是行男吗？所以驹子的一生是徒劳吗？
握住停在掌心的当下，直视站立远处的未来，遵从内心选择，无畏他人目光，翻涌浪潮下步履坚定勇敢前行。
不是应该让我开开心心身体健康的长久才能当好编剧😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
不了解背景真就看个一脸懵，节奏比关原还快，果然所有的石田三成最后都会去演土方岁三
这电影很日本，表示看不懂。。。
“我”想得到她的日记，呃，不由得让人想到太宰治与其小说《斜阳》背后的真.相抑或丑.闻……事实上，川端康成早期的一些作品（如《少.女的港口》）就是由女作家中里恒子代笔的，川端仅仅只是署了名！
挺喜欢这部影片，舒缓的节奏情感的流动感觉很舒服，总能在女主身上看到苍井优的影子。但这海报太迷惑了，为何不是白茫茫的雪景而是通往雪国的隧道呢。
看出了若干伤感，是从观影之后才冒出的情绪，片子本身就还比较轻快幽默吧。毛片剧组造访乡下茅屋，深闺老妇血刃青壮年电影宅，一听就很从小看到大的美式乡下杀人狂血浆片调调，但优点算在于主题的选择，本身涉及到老年人的○需求的片子就在电影里算寥寥，直面它——虽然当做恐怖猎奇元素在拍——但也算难得，但片子本身的主题是契合疫情的，所谓上一代吃苦吃到大的人对于正值韶华的年轻一代的嫉妒与怨恨，放几年前可能我还会小装一下：“我还年轻惹”然后表示不理解……我真的开始羡慕起那些过个几年后，没被疫情耽误享乐的年轻人了。虽然看的时候就不断被逗乐，但直到staff roll播完，我也才想起：对啊，我也只是在房间里面看别人在阳光下拍A片的那些深闺老宅而已，而或许这黑暗也并不是我应得的，可以像他们一样归咎于时代了。4.5归5。
开始败走东北 用这个速率去剪辑就已经很难站得稳了 北海道其实可以不要拍的 在胜海舟求情那边收尾也许更合适一些 但又要把土方最后的照片这一段拍出来 ，推介推介！！！
受不了😓 物化女性?
故事讲得不错，但隐约觉得人物缺了劲儿，情节完整又不完整，似乎少了点什么……
穿过县界长长的隧道，便是雪国，夜空下一片白茫茫。
爱人甚多，得失且过。（本来想打三星的，但最后三十分钟以驹子的视角所做的独白，为我深层理解原作提供了新的视角。）
书很多年前看的，剧情太散了，导致一直回忆不起来发生了什么，电影剧情更易懂，终于全回忆起来了。
湖边黑影究竟是人是鬼？
生也好，爱也好，都是徒劳。（没看过原著都能感觉到这改编差点意思…）
双视角还蛮有意思的，仿佛解迷。奈绪好美啊，高桥在这里面演得让人失望。
是徒劳啊。。。 （高桥好看，驹子也好看，有点像苍井优有点像周韵
6/10
看着橘色灯下飞蛾视死如归的劲头，觉着深深的徒劳，那我们平日的执着又何尝不是另一种莫名的徒劳呢？人呐，正因如此才在这黑白世间绽放出艳丽的色彩啊…
