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)

弥补去年被退票的现场，挑在911二十周年上线也很合时宜，主题嘛，来自陌生人的最大善意
911祭，用欢乐来取代悲痛，用友情来化解仇恨。
喜欢电影中二人的每次对话，虽然很理想化，但都是对现实生活的一种提炼和萃取，看完以后会给你一种思考。
三星半 ｜前2/3极度舒适的片子 最后有些垮了 人物的设计稍显讨巧 矛盾起的也略突兀 为了男主的魅力手松给个四星
Emma Thompson演得太好了，非常真诚，太让人感动了。剧本是一个典型的三幕式结构，工整、清晰，在目前动不动两个半小时长的大片中，显得十分灵动。 但最重要的是它对女性情欲的探索和自我成长，sex pleasure is a powerful thing. 最后的设计，虽然predictable，但是很妙，性愉悦从来不是谁给的，而是自我发现和自我解放。 关于边界/真实与虚假的探讨也很有启发性，good luck to 每一个在探索的人。
好有魅力的鸭鸭
OBC原卡的官摄太好看了，当全场灯光变暗，Welcome to the Rock的前奏响起，演员们走出来的时候，我直接就哭出来！原来五月份录的时候是有观众的，我一直以为是空场录的，这是回宽街的第一批观众。CFA多么诚心，感谢让我拥有OBC，五星点赞！

疫情前看的最後一部音樂劇，緊湊又聰明的結構。最愛On the Bus。
整体套路化，说教味太浓，呼吁性工作合法化真的大可不必，和妈妈一起看的感觉很奇妙
三星半，完全没想到是一个这样的故事，看得很开心。一种工整的，计划好的，没有意外的故事。却处处有些小惊喜，小欢乐，很童话，很梦幻。表演过于用力，也可能是故意为之。
Sex is amazing! Enjoy ourselves!学会接纳自己什么时候都不晚。不知道是不是一部话剧改编的电影，简单的场景与运镜，多数是靠台词支撑，真的更考验编剧的能力，还好撑住了。四次会面中间部分有点boring.但最后一段在咖啡馆艾玛的独白真的是让我泪目。PS：独居人士看完有点春心荡漾。虽然小伙子永远不是我的菜
a powerful celebration of humanity indeed
最后的半小时有点过于正面积极主旋律，让人有点情绪上接不住之外，前面的编排太妙了，简简单单的一些小动作，就可以勾勒出飞机上，户外，学校里，市议会各种场景，好厉害啊
疫情解封后的百老汇音乐剧+911 20周年纪念让这部作品天然意义非凡，相比《汉密尔顿》讲述美国国父背后的男人的丰功伟绩，《来自远方》展现了加拿大纽芬兰岛民的力量与善意，it's a celebration of humanity，这是对普通人的赞歌。
ohhh my god 我理想中的gentleman
戴上职业假面的男主，从审美学角度来说无懈可击。他能洞悉任何人的需求从而提供服务，甚至堪称心理咨询师持证上岗哈哈。在这场关系中，两人重组了“母子”也互为“救赎者”，完成了一场敢于直面对抗勇于接纳自己的疗愈。
真的一般 9.1就是夸张 对这个主旋律没有感触 在就是音乐没有留下什么特别印象
非常棒的剧本！！！尤其是早晨正好开始看《阴道独白》，有了更多体会。将剧本技巧运用到淋漓尽致，像《卢米埃尔与四十大导》之阿巴斯的技巧，只是最后之前的那部分对我来说有些“烂尾”，过于“正能量”了，否则我要惊呼出，比《五点到七点的克莱欧》走得更远。喜欢本片的调色，就像马卡龙一样存粹甜腻
