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)
Anaïs，一个喜欢远足、总是推着坏掉的自行车迟到，顺嘴说出“对了，我下周去打胎”的姑娘，一只自顾自地野蛮生长的小狮子。对于任何一个自我意识不够蓬勃到与之对峙的人来说，那些兀自汹涌、心不在焉的喋喋不休，乃至她活力四射的存在本身既是引力，也是威胁。其他人千般万般要把她拴在身旁，只有E选择把她放归山林，不愿让她委屈。我太爱这结局，太爱Anaïs最后仍能展现出的勇气。稚嫩鲁莽的奋不顾身也好，二人权力关系的逆转也好，无论怎样，这里没有流俗的是：年轻的姑娘并非一时兴起，也不只是青春期茂盛的欲望与强加的想象——也许她真正知道自己想要什么，就像那条多年得宠的连衣裙。况且即便这仍是幻象，也是足够真实的幻象。“玫瑰都开了/我还想怎么呢”。她拒绝接受任何人以为她好的名义作出的安排：一个真正的笃信者与反叛者。
这可能不是爱情 是她在女作家身上看到自己的投射 是幻想 终究还是一场summer fling
比起恋爱part，更喜欢对女主个性的描画：一直在奔跑、推着单车但从来不骑、做事风风火火完全不计后果、缺点多如鸿毛……就是这么个没谱的人，推倒女作家后反而害羞了？最后一幕帮作家找回丢失的书，这才真正觉得她可爱起来……任性是任性了点，但最后那句“不同意”也是真的帅
就是说选角
小阿这种人就是电影里非常迷人，但现实中我一定会疯狂避开的…
“你利用这一点，你可以得到所有想要的东西，你可以移山倒海”
爱情是盛开的花朵，灿烂，热烈。阿娜伊斯是个对爱明确，享受炽热当下的女生。谁都会被热烈吸引，难以抗拒。
Écris-moi encore！
“你要的更多，你是对的。你严肃地对待爱情，你是对的。”
It’s a type of French romance that I don’t quite understand...
Écris-moi encore！
奔跑或是情意的流轉都是太普遍
守着自己仅有的食之无味弃之可惜的东西患得患失，害怕得不到自己想要的，害怕失去已经拥有的，总之就是懦弱懦弱，不要这样，越长大越倒退了。要勇敢。
我不同意
尽管阿娜伊斯总是风风火火想一出是一出，甚至把自己的生活搞得一团糟，然而就像艾米丽说的，我也好羡慕她可以那么自然地去索求一切，从不过多考虑对或不对。对于我这种和艾米丽一样思虑过多、时常克制自己的人，怎么会不被这种生机勃勃的人吸引啊
太像我前室友了！在欧洲国家长大，漂亮自信，每天风风火火，不拘小节，不严肃的情感生活，每天背个旧背包，似乎没吃过、用过高端的东西，但不妨碍她经常成为别人生活中的一股清流
勇敢大胆，明确自己想要的是什么。羡慕这样的热情四溢，和稳重理性的作家那么互补😭到底怎样才算活得洋溢又潇洒呢，不知道，努力探索吧
女主其实一直在跑、跑、跑，她真的好有活力、好夏天，整个三观也太法国了，我非常非常喜欢
一部柔软湿润胆大又羞涩的典型法国情爱故事。总有一个声音在耳边低语：明天你可能就挂了，好好他妈的专注当下吧！
因为幽闭恐惧拒绝电梯和地铁所以一直在奔跑，这是时间之外、欲望之上的东西，冒失勇敢的推土机总能得逞，但怎么说，不要轻易效仿，打直球能成功的关键要素是本人得可爱吧
