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)
意大利电影总能带给我意外之喜。男同不奇怪，俩爸爸也不奇怪，奇怪的是居然都不是生物学父亲，这就太有意思了。
大小人看着小大人干架的意大利家庭喜剧，抓马的背后是对社会制度能给少数家庭更多的包容和便利的美好愿景～
拍的一般 题材红利吧 同性离婚与小孩归属问题
{★★★} 好疯好尴尬，好网飞的feelgood电影。虽说题材就是男同版的The Kids Are All Right，剧本仍有太多人工与强扭痕迹。但相对的，精彩的拍案之处也不缺--尤其是结尾的滴血验亲。总的来说，它想告诉你婚姻很难，无论你们是否特殊；但亲情能够活得比婚姻更长久。
PS：先进的意呆利也还在双父的出生证明定义上这么纠结嘛，看来平权之路依然任重道远啊~
确实有点勇气说“形式大于内容”了，但在此看来大科恩走了一个类似反向NWR式的路。但是拜托，我宁愿去想有人可以去拍一部基于麦克白的《黑豹》；有《蜘蛛巢城》的珠玉文本在前了，还能怎么编呢？所以为什么小科恩会离开了呢？
其实也就三星，但是为青春少年的本色演出加一颗星。不太喜欢男同夫夫这种中年成功人士的人设，感觉也不太真实，也不能共鸣。
有一些小小的修罗场，其他就是很温情亲喜剧的走向。
喜剧的元素和情节处理得不如同类型的孩子们都很好般巧妙，演员很努力，怎么说人家能出少数群体的家庭drama都比某敏感脆弱的繁殖大国进步很多啊
从头到尾都蛮清晰的思路，简洁明了。唯一就是我一直以为Jaco和哥哥会搞上结果并没有。最后两个人平静讲述什么时候开始发现没有爱的时候，好像真的看到了世界上每一对夫妻。
我看的是109分钟的版本，但是词条显示90分钟，是结局不一样嘛？这样的片不至于吧= =
每个家庭都会有伤痕，而伤痕会让一个人与众不同。爱无关乎血缘，是生活中的千丝万缕汇聚而成。啼笑皆非，抓马不断，又不失温情。
成长是发现并接受生活中的不完美，但这部片子明显美化了家庭问题对孩子造成的创伤，里昂从高台坠落醒了就能抛下痛苦了吗？现实中很多孩子因为家长争吵、离婚而产生心理问题恐惧、焦虑、抑郁，以他们的年龄来说这是强加在他们身上的痛，何况又是如此大的抓马，同性家庭没有一个是亲爹，这部类似剧情比起养子十五岁还是差很多
来啊互相伤害啊，倒掉你的珍藏红酒。其实很温暖
大家追求的都是幸福 就算没在一起有何如呢 大团圆结局 美好的结局是能拥抱幸福 感情中 应坦诚 出轨x👎👿👹👺 零容忍
剧情有很多可以发散的空间，拍成剧吧
世界上没有完美的婚姻，但可以有完美的离婚。
啥家庭都那些陈芝麻烂谷子的事儿，倒也算是一视同仁地“恐同”吧。。。
过于夸张抓马… 很多问题点对于欧洲人来说 根本不会如此纠结吧
