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)
对中国电影深深的嘲讽。身无分文的投资人、烂片著名的导演、过气冷饭的名宿、深陷丑闻的女星、言过其实的小生。不敢触及的话题，无力对抗的势力。即便没有审查，也摆脱不了拍个大烂片的事实。最可怜的莫过于编剧，电影拍完了，自己才明白发生了什么。
它并不是完美的，但它已经在有限条件下，尽己所能做到了最好。
所以当年的万合天宜，真的是在一群拍网剧的小咖里，捞出了一票天才啊
喜欢啊。她什么都没有，只有爱。眼看传统意义上的失败者，婚姻不幸，没有工作，还多愁善感的中年女人一步步走出来，重生。家庭关系暖心，餐后就着音乐和甜点跳舞真的幸福。电影院第一眼就看出来是《圆月映花都》
paris paris paris 每一个元素的堆砌都是在向巴黎示爱 巴黎我爱你的正确表达方法
80年代，银幕上的《圆月映花都》、午夜电台、图书馆、配着甜点的歌；好大一排落地窗，对面的楼有好看的立面；塞纳河静静淌着，晨光中的城市是粉蓝色，报刊亭开了门；夏洛特甘斯布，艾曼纽贝阿……太美好了！
另外夸一下各位演员的演技，真的很棒！张本煜演的，太好了！！！
“我一开始想象的生活并不是这样的,但我们还是尽力去热爱它了,对吗？ 以前,我觉得浪漫就是风花雪月。今天看完这部电影后,我对浪漫有了新的理解：它其实是一种选择,是一种勇敢,是一种英雄主义。即便自己的生活不那么如意,却依然热爱它。 这种爱,终会滋养出希望和温暖。
总之，子墨出息了~导演处女座来说完全合格。本煜演得也好棒，值得大火。秦霄贤居然是承包了我最多笑点和泪点的人，演戏有点油麦天赋在身上哈哈哈。
法国小清新，剧情略微狗血，大量镜头致敬候麦，似乎也只有在巴黎，这样的故事才有土壤。
真心不错 故事讲的明白 角色也各有特色 幽默合宜 悬疑到位 尤其爱看阿加莎的我 很喜欢这种群像的片子 推荐！
非常非常喜欢 太温柔了 / 让人觉得 一生至少要去一次xxx吧 这样的句式是合理的 只要是巴黎
一路玩梗，认出来一些，肯定错过了更多，
现在看到这种片子想的竟然是“这么多暗喻和讽刺居然能过审”。是我不对劲还是这个时代不对劲了？
剧本杀式的推理悬疑电影，辅以搞笑的段子、无厘头的情节、戏谑的迷影梗、隐射现实（电影行业、掌权者的游戏与弱点）让人看得津津有味。
李家辉等人既借助电影揭露了黑幕，同时也没有破坏齐乐山的计划。
就像被留在房间里的旧镜子上的
这叫“故事会电影”，可能有个不错的故事，为之搭建了文本，但导演和表演都不太过关，剪辑简直辣眼睛
过于私人化。完全是对于80年代的个人想象，真正那个年代的模样参考侯麦。
6.5/10
