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)
触目惊心的想象力实在令人叹服，跨度30年的绝大成本所形成的独特性也确实不能以一般的文本去要求本片了，某种程度上讲真是一部究极的电影，或许可以说它的存在就是来终结定格动画的？
妥妥儿的呈现什么叫用很厉害的技术挑粪（真的是字面意思）

【9】在他自己的噩梦里，他是疯狂的造物者。从未有过的奇特观影体验，一场纯粹的睁眼做梦之旅，沉浸到来不及反应：它是几乎没有剧情和对白的。曾经梦到过那种语言难以形容的cult画面，所以它是目前最接近我梦境的电影。极其私人化的片子，就好像怪奇生物设定集成精，喜欢的会爱惨，讨厌的干脆别看。
ps：导演是不是把自己的噩梦拍出来了
本来我在无精打采的拨柚子吃，然后发现画风逐渐变态，你要是这个风格我可不困了啊……
两个男主之间 太有感觉的，那一根一起抽的烟，闹翻后几年不见依旧觉得你会选择帮助我。电影该有的紧张和氛围我觉得都很到位，故事很流畅很舒服

这是人类的脑洞吗太强了鸟嘴好美bgm好欢乐温馨哦我好爱本年度最爱🤧🤧🤧
如果只是浅显得理解它是在讽刺战争、制度、医疗和人性，那就太狭隘了，这明明是众神在孕育万物时对世界乃至宇宙的的唯美礼赞。
美术不论是阴森逼仄还是流光溢彩，想象力细节都拉满了，三十年的制作周期带来的是纯正的科幻片黄金年代的质感（台词都没有，剧情没啥好说的，有几场戏实在是给我恶心坏了...
当然也可以简单的理解为
特效很厉害就是了，不是很恐怖，有种怪诞异形的美，宗教意味很浓厚
没有影评提到过的小彩蛋（神父一样绘制地图的真人在小房间里接收到的无线电三短三长三短，是一代男主被挖脑后发的“sos”）
好一鍋又酷又噁心的科幻大雜燴，這個世界上真的有一群人就是愛看噁心的東西
我看不懂，但大受震撼，堪称邪典，暂停两次心里建设终于看完。 从最后几分钟类似太空漫游的角度，应该是一个生命诞生～人类失序毁灭的套娃剧情。 红衣人派工具人到下面世界去执行炸毁任务，经过了各层废土机械血腥诡异的世界，最后一步时任务失败被抓去解剖。从堆积如山的箱子和解剖医生从工具人脑中所看到的回忆镜头可知，有无数工具人做了无数次重复的任务。而工具人身体内取出来的类似脊椎的婴儿又是肿瘤造物主制造小世界制造生命的必需品，可见红衣人工具人同样是剧情闭环的组成部分。 当然肯定涉及不少隐喻，比如战争、核爆以及飘带人的面具以及送婴儿时地下的很多可疑的人物动物塑像。 总之，人的想象力、创造力和破坏力都是无穷的。
看懂是不可能了，但是这么好的定格动画和场景值得夸赞
崩坏的废土，这是旧约的重演，也是末日的审判
看到结尾我看了个寂寞到底讲了个啥？？就是独特画风恶心人？对比我还是喜欢之前那个独特画风狼屋的起码有剧情
不说其他，单就这牛逼闪闪的设定和自成体系的世界观。这片形象就是直接面向观众生理，怎么恶心，怎么肮脏怎么来，因此极具挑衅性，它因此挑人，挑它自己的思考者。
