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)
在这个女孩身上，我见到了V，也见到了我，merci
I don't agree 胜过千言万语
手捧鲜花跑进公寓自顾自喋喋不休，推掉会议坐火车去听爱慕之人的座谈会，阿娜伊斯是那种完全忠于欲望、随心所欲的女人，她的不按常理出牌总让人措手不及，由此散发的独特魅力也让人深陷其中；弗兰西斯·哈、世界上最糟糕的人还有此片都有女主在街头奔跑的画面，她们都是像风一样自由又同火一样热烈的女人，大概只要不停奔跑，那些琐碎的、难缠的就会被抛在身后，那些明媚的、灿烂的就会扑面而来。
女主其实一直在跑、跑、跑，她真的好有活力、好夏天，整个三观也太法国了，我非常非常喜欢
Écris-moi encore！
提供了一个特殊的共情角度，理解了那种热烈毫无保留的荷尔蒙。可是连法国人都没给出开放关系的建设性叙事呢，女主还说这是“资本主义的那一套。”
风风火火的青春气息，阿姨57了真是完全看不出，男的怎么能这么自信哦🙄
c'était comme le moment avec elle, un moment ardent, vibrant, sincère. C'était aussi beau et précieux, oui.
各种法国元素大集合的小妞电影。ça c’est enfin un film
如果我到了56岁，能这么年轻独立优雅迷人，吸引相差20岁且有所思想的姑娘，并能在激情中保持冷静，那此生可就功德圆满了。
好戏从60分钟开始。
一部柔软湿润胆大又羞涩的典型法国情爱故事。总有一个声音在耳边低语：明天你可能就挂了，好好他妈的专注当下吧！
2022至今看过最喜欢的爱情故事。想把Anaïs的小裙子都买下来，爱治愈了她的幽闭恐惧症。最后一段伤心的对白，本以为一切将落俗地诀别。我们都需要更疯疯癫癫，哪怕勇敢到令人心碎。
还挺喜欢的 这样的羞赧和大胆谁又有推开的力量呢
轻松、清新的喜剧。阿娜伊斯一直在奔跑，她是跑进荧幕的，又跑进古堡、草地，还有楼梯间、大街，几乎在一切地方——她都在跑。可是，她的生活却极不靠谱。她本来是一个文科博士，论文完成一半，却再也写不出来了；本来跟一个帅哥谈恋爱，却意外分手；不巧的很，她竟然怀孕，于是去打胎；妈妈曾经患癌，七年都过去了，突然又复发；她竟然阴差阳错，跟一个老男人上床了，又竟然爱上了老男人的老婆——一个住在乡下古堡别墅的优雅女人……
女主表面看似糟糕迷茫的时期又蕴含明朗生命力的内核，最后i don't agree 所谓自主的爱与成长就不因外界的反馈而转变，一切都在于自身是否拿起或放下。
关于文学和写作的欧洲电影总是很性感。还致敬了最爱的opening nights中的Gena Rowlands....有点像世界上最糟糕的人。
【投射】贯穿了整部片与观影过程. 女主即便是个性carefree，还得被动地得到以为是自己争取的感情. 作家刚好相反. 不免让人觉得两个人代表导演不同年龄段理想化意象的缩影. 不设限和理性的冲突一直都在，只是随年岁增长，人们可以更加坦诚的自我暴露，也可以用对自身欲望更犀利的剖析来防御. 电影里几个男性角色都好笑到让人嫌弃，两个女人之间的感情有你什么事啊就以为要threesome，笑到了.
景色很美，但get不到这对姬，像是两个直女硬凹蕾丝……
印象最深刻是那本被弄丢的杜拉斯的书，初版，带有勾划、笔记和指甲印。
