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)
Troye是真好看啊！
念白很舞台化，背景很表现主义，光线是最棒的。华盛顿和麦克多蒙德的表演就中规中矩吧。整体文本的内核和构思没有太大新意。如果能移植到舞台，复刻光线和背景，我觉得感受会更好。
毋庸置疑，丹泽尔华盛顿是好莱坞的演技担当之一，在戏里的表现也相当出彩。电影的色调与构图、舞台化的背景和原生态的台词，让我想起《白蛇传·情》，东西方的故事和表现手法迥然不同，但是对于传统文化的表达，却是异曲同工的。但，影片这样的安排还让我想起了好莱坞的zzzq，麦克黑、棕雪公主、墨人鱼、00黑妹……我的天，非要拿他人的历史文化和自己的传承相结合，有必要吗？
7.4/两对黑白表兄弟间的厮杀与帮助不免让人感到过于刻意而为之…
作为西方超经典，七七八八各种版本看了不少，只要不魔改，一般不会太差，这一版更像黑泽明和科恩西部片的舞台混搭
Leon弟弟竟然还没和猫猫学长在一起 难道这是要开以他俩为主cp新剧的节奏？没必要没必要 另外提醒一下某温柔猛1 看好你家的小妖孽 3年的老夫老夫相处模式还这么腻腻乎乎 请把上班前的morning kiss在未来持续下去
没有任何意义的电影。虽然题材大胆刻画hiv性少数人群但是并没有表达出如何面对negtive的态度与方式，以pos结尾反而更加害怕。
摄影一绝，光影场景设计音效服化道都可以拿来一说。华盛顿的表演稍许落俗。故事虽说不复杂，但古英语确实有点影响理解以至于入戏花了一段时间。
像是上了一堂戏剧鉴赏课，美学价值突出，电影价值匮乏。

当莎士比亚遇见造型主义，适合电影院观看，基本上就是搞视觉奇观那一套，张艺谋应该会喜欢。再次申明，本人，十分想看杜琪峰拍麦克白！
若是沒看過第七封印的話，這片子是可以再加一星的
这版《麦克白》非常科恩，是舞台剧的电影化。黑白处理，舞台灯效，布景、构图都相当到位。对白有删减，但没改变，仍算莎士比亚戏剧。
突兀的精致，无时无刻不在提示着摄影、布景均是包装，虚假的电影感——除却后电影还留下什么？无非是一堆看似高级的零部件机械、生硬地运作着，一种美名为“艺术”的non-cinema：的确是艺术性的，但却是电影亟须破除的症候。
真就只有男主美颜这个看点，剧情各种同题材的影子
看得很享受很投入，可始终因为是莎剧的优秀底子，我看法鲨那实景版也是同样感受。但舞台戏剧电影，基里科的场景再黑白简约化，通过背台词和念台词，就能实现主题升华吗？德国表现主义就需要当下去重复致敬吗？实在不可能也没必要。更因为出自依赖剧本的科恩之手，再减一分。还是希望多些拉尔夫费恩斯版《科里奥兰纳斯》这类、把场景彻底至于当代新闻实景的莎改作品。
监视器外的眼睛。
我感觉我又相信爱情了！！！！
麦克白是一个阴郁的故事，这次乔尔科恩用电影语言重新翻译了它。7分给到极度风格化的摄影，黑白明暗对照，布景和打光突出的犀利线条。转场换景的调度，既有电影艺术提供的光影质感，又有舞台剧艺术的庄严，但男女主的表演有点盛名之下其实难副。
特别有老电影的风貌，有一种以星空、大地做舞台的气势，像是一个更有空间感的舞台剧呈现。表演当然是好的，有一些光影的使用也蛮让人印象深刻的，别的就四平八稳吧。不知是不是很多导演都有排麦克白圆梦的心理。
