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)
现代社会社恐症患者愈来愈多，这可能是高科技的通讯设施造成的某种负面影响吧。不过这种病还是可以治好的，就像片中的社恐女孩，只要积极参与到社会活动中就行。
本片讲述了宅不出户的女主角把害她的男人全杀了，不仅心情好了，社交恐惧症都好了的治愈之路。女性只要舍得伤害男人就能摆脱抑郁症。
难看出一定程度来，最后用Elastica也不知所云。
很简洁的一部新冠时代的后窗但是比偷窥者好看多了 索德伯格还能拍 比起密集的城市建筑或者是住户相对的透明窗户 反而是大数据和ai让人无处遁形 -who makes fake life online？-literally everyone.
九十分钟，有张力、有悬疑，小巧玲珑型的故事。
【2022-2-16】逻辑混乱剧情稀碎但看的很爽，女主聪明且酷，打钉枪比消音枪还牛笑死了
还不错，大数据以及个人信息背景下的电影，中间段看的让人冒汗，还好女主角智慧过人，最后也算过上了正常人生活。
前多半段时间略显沉闷，做了太多铺垫，后面又收的太快。
就剩下点已经很常见的“不折腾”“我冷静”风格了
角色根本没利用好，像偷窥女主的胖子，女主男朋友的身份之类的，就像是几个自以为是的杀手碰到了一个心里变态团灭的故事，很平庸。
🎬《Kimi》🌟🌟
创意还不错，拍的也还行就感觉总体基调定的有点儿低
有点另类，有点意思，裹着智能音控外衣的女性向flick
很好看啊，作为惊悚片虽然故事很套路很简单，但自然地加入了许多属于这个时代的元素，并且一些小段落中还包含着导演技法上和主题上的巧思，比如社恐女主在追逐段落的边角构图和倾斜构图，比如隔着窗户窥视别人“生活”与翻看别人社交网络的对应（btw，我会有住到主角这么大的房子的那一天吗😭
关于 covid 和 wfh 的一些设定太投机取巧了，后面的正面冲突像是儿戏
看了两部索德伯格的片子都是讲绝地反杀成功的，特别爽
疫情背景下希区柯克式消费数码时代另类/酷/Gen Z喜好/POC女英雄悬疑……故事很平庸，然后苹果投了多少钱？多次产品出镜、女主使用、对kimi/siri的呈现偏中立/好（最后甚至成为比偷窥肥男更有用的帮手），技术的问题都在隐私（苹果主打隐私保护），手持几段摄影可能也用了iPhone？索德伯格你说收了多少钱？
有緊張但是也刻板。社恐傍牆走幾分鐘後壓迫感不再，謀殺清晰後的走向開始可預見。口罩消毒會有代入感，牙齦發炎又不得解。
太强行了吧！丑国大街上那么多热心丑国人的吗
社恐技术女发现高层秘密欲被封口，结果反杀对方三人，最后10分钟才酷起来
