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)
Netflix自己制作的电影大都不行。这个讲美食、风景、爱情、人生选择的故事，没有一个主题能到及格线。
怎么说呢？就是模仿99年电影版Mansfield Park的女主视觉，用05年Pride and Prejudice的服化道，去改编原来铅华洗净内敛流深的原著， 把许多社会戏剧冲突都用糖水稀释过了。
前期铺垫的太长肥皂剧剧情到后期基本上补救不回来了 一想到这种奇怪的调调应该一定是国产电影最后翻拍喜欢的感觉
车胜元演技没有过，开头的几次肢体接触也太奇怪了。还是看综艺舒服一点
像棵大树，深深扎根，默默汲取，在静默无声中长成参天模样，清醒而又倔强地成长。
就很fleabag版Anne Elliot。Dakota很美丽，但剧本安排得有点神经搞笑，男角色又各有各的奇形怪状，虽然看的还挺愉快的，却完全不是我心目中温柔内敛又深情的劝导CP。
为什么不干脆改编Emma呢？或者可以搞bj单身日记这样的套人设现代版也行啊……
Netflix+0715:宇宙自有它的选择。
配角都是熟悉的面孔呢！一开始以为是灾难片，后来觉得是喜剧片…看到最后，又被感动到红了眼。虽然无数个巧合有些“刻意”，却还是暖暖的让人心生感慨。最后长发的光洙好帅呀～

女主感觉只为卖性感，可能我还停留在50度灰吧。and男主跟她感觉不出有啥化学成分。
what is this? can't be any worse
要我也宁愿呆在阳光明媚有美味西红柿和奶酪的tuscany而不是冰冷的丹麦好吧
有一点我不明白的，小伙子吸烟邻居竟然能闻到，我邻居做菜的味道比我吸烟的味道大一百倍好吗！
改编的什么玩意儿。
演员的脸和表情不重要吗…整个氛围都不对啊🤔
我的天哪，浪费人生中的两个小时。怎么会有这么多过时的笑料，编剧是多少岁高龄了？还有导演让演员们泡在水里最后拍出来了个这真的不会被骂吗？
毫无逻辑可言，但是看得还挺欢乐的，就当无厘头搞笑灾难片看了
这剧情编得实在勉强，非要强行让一群人遭到劫难的赶脚。好好地让人家生活不行吗？
第一次看了一半忘记了，过程有点搞笑和刻意。
