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)
甘斯布美的惊人！所以，善良美貌的女人总是会在命运的低谷中绝处逢生，一点启示。
写一些不明所以的诗，不管是否合辙押韵
看了90分钟受不了溜了。人物很平面的清水文艺片，虽然主题是聚焦城市的背面（夜晚）和孤独的人们，但一切都过于干净，连少有的冒险都是安全的。如果巴黎的80年代真是影片里这样我估计会无聊至死。
今年柏林节参赛的片子，家庭关系写得细腻、生活，角度也有特点。可看。
没有痛苦的生活中的一些小痛苦，适合生活没有痛苦的人看。
35mm摄影机的片段使得影片有种淡淡的怀旧感。
#Berlinale72nd# 4.5 与《阿曼达》着重于情绪的生长不同，更多是一种状态的描摹，在状态的捕捉中提炼出细腻的情绪，异质感由突然出现的人物提供，但在漫游间，情绪触感逐渐消融异质，使其与情境融于一体。既是巴黎的故事，也是个体的故事。
零碎的影像记忆，他们的突然离开就像他们的突然到来。
治愈细腻的小品，配乐舒适，富有生活小细节。在诺大的城市中，我们何尝不都是旅人。互相相遇，建立联系，靠着彼此的陪伴同行一段旅途，而后不可避免地，留下了一些纪念品后，便是匆匆离别，继续走向下一段旅程。如果有缘便还便不会再见。
非常温柔细腻
非常温柔，温柔又有力。生命里的过客们，不知道在哪一天兜兜转转连成圈。2022.6.15
天色将晚时的蓝色多次出现，成为这部电影的风格基调，这个蓝色太准确了，静谧的、易碎的、哀伤的、乐观的、隽永的、优雅的、本质的。音乐很棒，若没有Anto Sanko这些插曲绵密的配合，仅凭复古的画面绝对无法让人走进上世纪八十年代的巴黎。在质感到位的前提下，情节和文本虽普通但也无关紧要了，被拆解成诗歌、电影、生命、善意、亲情、爱情等元素作为视听的点缀也无伤大雅，至少不矫情也不虚浮。51岁的夏洛特甘斯布的少女感自然大方，从内而外美得满足了一切对“法国女人”的想象。
失眠的夜里，倾听声波来信。有夜旅人在黑暗中走来。插入私人影像。循着故事，坠入梦里，下沉到太阳再次升起。
四个人拥在一起笑着起舞的画面真的很法国很迷人
沉醉于巴黎的夜。舒适至极的电影，是深爱着这座城市才能描摹出的生活。soundtrack大加分。（就是说我什么时候可以定居法国...
Les passagers de la nuit
J'ai besoin d'une cigarette maintenant
今年柏林节参赛的片子，家庭关系写得细腻、生活，角度也有特点。可看。
我以为会是放浪不羁巴黎夜，结果却是满富温馨母子情。
在一對中年情侶面前談論像嬰兒一樣脆弱的十九歲流浪少女時感覺很奇妙。歐吉爾故事竟貫穿了全片我好感動。出現里維特是我沒想到的🥺看到最後會覺得這是寫給巴黎的一封情書啊。我決定推薦我媽去看這部電影了。
