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)
镜头语言很美很有范，但剧情无聊，抽象派吗，看睡着了。
像在观赏记忆中的倒影，风起时漾开波纹，竟是孩童恶作剧般的搅动。光线如刻刀雕出几抹剪影，随即展开变调，肃穆的葬礼需要一把瓜子花生，歌剧拉开帷幕，滑稽剧热闹散场。
m21217：骑士成人礼！四星不满。简单故事深学问，信与不信之间摇摆之时要看得深远放弃庇祐勇敢接受荣誉！
作为A24铁粉来说说，风格仍然过硬，节奏差强人意，美术无可挑剔，台词不伦不类
3星，本片改编自 圆桌骑士里比较有名的一段故事《高文与绿骑士》，场景布局讲究尽显骑士浪漫情怀。故事改编后有点故弄玄虚强行加戏的感觉，把寓言故事拍成了一个文艺片。但寓言故事表达的精神没变，整体观感尚可，可以看看。
当影像看了。叙事太过主观，也就没有观众什么事了。
#22Berlinale 3
为美术和音效加一星
我这种文化沙漠干嘛要看这部电影啊！完全就是被预告片巨人给吸引罢了！
基于皮兰德娄的生平、作品，但保罗·塔维亚尼从一开始就代入了对哥哥维托里奥的纪念，恐怕没有哪个观众不会被影响。虽感伤但更让人看到了西西里人的从容，甚至每段都有诙谐元素
Like everyone said, top-notch on cinematography, sound design and art department, but no story, only vibes. Good for eye, not for brain. The last 20 mins makes the most sense of the movie, like an ending explanation in the ending. The overall tone of the film, or from adult fairy tale aspect, it reminds me of Tale of Tales.
意义很好，很适合小朋友看。大狗的效果真的失真，没啥了
对待私人情绪抑或时代图景的哪一面都像是一个衰老且更枯竭且生疏的韦斯安德森，最无聊最腐朽的一种浪漫主义。
有些个人主义色彩，但欠缺时间感的史诗改编片。非叙境元素的运用（提示性的字幕）也把想表达的人物内在成长和经典故事本身的“传奇”属性区分开来，整体的观感挺割裂的，但表层的奇幻历程和内里主人公心灵的成长之间莫名有一种难以言说的张力
可爱的大红狗，很令人喜欢的造型。只不过剧情偏老套和简单，少了些曲折和深刻。
用最精简的语言讲一出告别，黑白转为彩色的设计饱含着作者的深情，再续未完成的作品。
这种古欧故事对于不了解欧洲历史的我非常不友好...我觉得最后高文逃过一劫了，因为选择了诚实和守信
美式的假笑，美式的浮夸演技，美式的温情故事，应该在平安夜看呢
我不理解，感觉不伦不类，这也太装了…David Lowery更适合去搞装置艺术。
在那些真实的灵性游戏时刻，我们突然清楚看到世俗游戏的虚妄。然而我们仍然要寻求一条道路，可以遵循着双重游戏的规则，不背弃存身其中的往日世界，也不背叛此刻的自己。为此，我们需要足以虚构出一生的想象力，以及断头的勇气。
